It is tall, light, rich and exquisite, and its influential ancient buildings are Westminster Abbey in Britain, Notre Dame de Paris in France and Cologne Cathedral in Germany. People use the following sentence to describe "Gothic" architecture: "It goes straight into the sky like a flame, standing upright and straight".

Third, the Renaissance.

The furniture of this period has become the product of antique art, and it is definitely a flower in a greenhouse. However, the painting art in this period had a great influence on furniture, and furniture manufacturers began to pay attention to the patterns and colors of wood decorative materials and began to use natural colored wood to splice beautiful pictures. People evaluate the furniture works of the Renaissance in this way: balanced, implicit, temperate, full of reason and logic. What is important is that the furniture of this period did not form its own handed down style, so it was gradually submerged in the long river of history.

At the same time, he is the most successful furniture designer in the British furniture industry, and also the first furniture designer named after the designer. Rococo style is a combination of "rock" and "shell" in French, which means Rococo. Rococo art furniture pays attention to curve characteristics. Most of the sofa backs, handrails, chair legs and picture frames are exquisitely carved. The top beam of the chair back is exquisitely combined with exquisite undulating "C" and "S" rolling patterns, and the legs of the chair are bent and equipped with legs for animal claws to catch the ball. Shell patterns are carved on the top beam of the chair back and the front beam of the photo frame.
