NEOCLASSICAL STYLE - Revivals of interest in ancient Greek, Roman, and
Egyptian themes, which occurred during the Renaissance,
Adam, and
Empire eras, and especially in the late 18th century, when appetites for it
were whetted by archeological discoveries.
NEO-GOTHIC - Revivals of aspects of
Gothic detailing, which took place in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the
former, circa 1745, references to
Gothic arches and tracery were applied to rococo
furniture. Later, Gothic ornamentation was added to
neoclassical forms.
