Georgian architecture refers to the architectural style of the period between 1720 and 1830. It takes its name from the four British King Georges (I, II, III and IV) who ruled from 1714 to 1830. Georgian architecture departed from the English Baroque style of the early 18th century, characterised by bold and opulent curved shapes, strong lines, ornamental design and rich colours. The Georgian style had a much more classical feel, and was influenced by Ancient Greek and Roman architecture. It was characterised by harmony, symmetry, clean lines and delicate furniture.
