DOES A STYLE MATCH WITH AN HISTORICAL PERIOD?

Some styles of furniture span two historical periods.

The Louis XVI style found its expression twenty years before the accession of that king. However, most styles came into their own with a time lag of several decennaries. The reason is that eight of those centuries diffused their inspirations no faster than a horse can go, and their progress materialized at that pace.
