William IV Era (1830 - 1837)

William IV Era (1830 - 1837) often called the "transitional" era, emphasised practicality and modest elegance, with furniture and decor designed to balance refinement with durability. Rosewood and mahogany were common in furnishings, and pieces featured simpler lines and less intricate detailing, making them accessible and versatile. The era saw an increase in upholstered furniture, with materials such as velvet in deep colours like burgundy, emerald and navy.
