Follow this link to view the Antiquedesks.net guide to Antique Furniture Periods.  This simple table compares British, Amercian and French terminology and spans the periods from 1485 to 1952 (i.e. Henry VII (Tudor) through to Queen Elizabeth II).  It explains when key terms such as "Gothic", "Colonial", "Chippendale", "Arts and Crafts" and "Art Deco" are properly used and the dates to which they apply.
