Style notes — Georgian period mainly refers to the second half of the 18th century and up to the 1820s. The style was predominantly neo-classical, that looked back at the ancient Greece and Rome and used those elements in design and decoration. Most Georgian items have straight and very clean lines and elegant repetitive floral patterns.
Facts of Lavish Good to know — the main reason for decanting port and sherry is to remove the sediment that builds up in a bottle. The wine can be decanted through a filter too.
