CHAPTER XXI

THE MAHOGANY PERIOD

It is interesting to note that the Great Fire of London started the
importation of foreign woods from across the Baltic, as great
quantities were needed at once for the purpose of rebuilding. These
soft woods aroused the invention of the cabinet-makers, and were
especially useful for inlaying; so we find in addition to oak, that
mahogany, pear and lime woods were used in fine furniture, it being
lime-wood that Grinling Gibbons carved when working with Sir
Christopher Wren, the famous architect (seventeenth century).

During the early Georgian period the oak carvings were merely poor
imitations of Elizabethan and Stuart designs. There seemed to have
been no artist wood-carvers with originality, which may have been
partly due to a lack of stimulus, as the fashion in the decoration of
furniture turned toward inlaying.
