Rosewood comes into vogue, and legs tend to be turned rather than straight. Emerging from the many styles that came before it, this can also be called Late Sheraton or Late Regency. This furniture is more gothic than neoclassical, with straight, heavy lines and thick carved ornamentation inspired by ecclesiastical architecture. Furniture from this period is ornate and often upholstered, stuffed with lumpy horsehair. Sofas and armchairs have stiff curved backs covered with button-tufted fabrics.
Elliptical lines are popular.
Some of the most egregious examples of Victoriana come from this period. Furniture is starting to be mass-produced. The use of papier-mache and mother of pearl runs rampant. In a revolt against industrialized furniture production, some craftsmen are beginning to become interested in decorative arts and handcrafting. This shows itself in the resurgence of naive designs and rudimentary joinings toward the end of the period.
