Early English Renaissance

The English Renaissance was divided into three periods, the early renaissance, the middle renaissance, and the late renaissance. The English were the last to fall to the renaissance, as the early renaissance started in 1550. During this time, there was a shift away from the church because of conflict between Henry VIII and the pope. The Tudor style was prominent in the era, it is associated with timber framed construction and officially started the beginning of the renaissance.

The English renaissance was the age of oak and the furniture of this time was very masculine. The chairs were box like and carved from wood. An example of a chair during this time is the settle chair.
