Late English Renaissance

The late renaissance is also known as the neoclassical era for the English. This period was about the revival of the interest in the arts of Greece and Rome, as well as focusing on various books.
One of the important pieces of architecture from this time is the Chiswick house, which was designed by Richard Boyle with William Kent.

This building is also known as the birthplace of the English Landscape Movement.

Another key person during this time is Robert Adam, who was a Scottish architect and designer. His designs were delicate and finely detailed. Some of his other characteristics included classical columns, arch forms, and domes.

As you can see he also used a lot of classical elements, like pilasters, arched niches, panels, and delicate ceilings. Of all these things, however, he is mostly known for his satinwood and extreme formal style; and NOT known for his focal point on fireplaces.
George Hepplewhite was also a huge influence on this era. He created the very popular oval and heart shaped chair backs, and popularized satinwood.

And finally, there was Thomas Sheraton, who had an elegant and crisp design. He didn't have complicated curves and had basic square back legs for his furniture.'
