Description: | Furniture following the restoration in 1660 begins to change. There is a multiplicity of items, which serve one purpose rather than many. It is very much influenced by the accession of Charles II who had spent most of his life abroad. The wealthy emulated the changes he brought to court. Furniture was increasingly ornamented and made from a wide variety of woods. Walnut in particular was very popular.The Tyrwhitt room displays furniture of both pre and post restoration and illustrates well the changes towards more dainty, ornamented and fashionable furniture. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
