Baroque furniture of English derivation is shown in the alcove of 1760 pictured above. The
seated figure occupies a Chippendale chair; the other pieces are Queen Anne. The curves
are repeated in the andirons and mirror. The furniture of this period is large and strong.
The decorated tiles are a Dutch feature. Courtesy Museum of the City of New York.

The palatial Rococo interior below shows background and furniture in the style of Louis XV.
Notice that no straight lines are used in the chair designs. The entire effect is delicate and
feminine. Courtesy Philadelphia Museum of Art,
