- Palladian - Andrea Palladio (1505-80), was an Italian architect and his building designs included use of pediments, cornices, lion masks, paws, acanthus leaves and swags. Palladio did not design any furniture, but his architectural elements have been carried through to furniture by other designers, the most notable of whom was Englishman, William Kent working in the first half of the 18th century.
