Collection Description:

The traditional design of the Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured enrichment of ornament and outline, Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translation of this significant architectural movement. As Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture, a full complement of bases, cornices, and pediments emerged, transforming cabinets, dressers and other case pieces into scaled-down architectural compositions.
