From the Latin Jacobus, James. General term for English styles built during the reigns of James I, Charles I, Cromwell, Charles II, and James II. See also Restoration.
Loosely used to refer to the 17th century (1600-1699), but literally the style period from 1600-1650. Furniture of this period was characterized by vivacious carving on solid forms.
