William and Mary style furniture |
| 1689 - 1702 | |
|
William III and Mary II reigned over England, Ireland and Scotland from
1689. Mary died in 1694, William in 1702. Hardware, made of cast brass, became decorative as well as functional. Walnut, maple, and fruitwoods replaced oak as the favourite furniture wood, often gilded, painted or lacquered. Furniture introduced during the period are the highboy and lowboy. They rest on high, elaborately trumpet or spiral turned legs. |
