Federal Style
Federal Style is an architectural and decorative style that emerged in the United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It reflects the ideals of the American Revolution and is characterized by its symmetry, classic proportions, and use of elements from Roman and Greek architecture. Common features include flat roofs, elliptical arches, and decorative motifs like swags and garlands.
In addition to architecture, Federal Style also influenced furniture design, with pieces often made from mahogany and featuring elegant lines and inlays. This style emphasizes simplicity and refinement, showcasing the growing national identity and aspirations of the young nation.
