The Neoclassical Style is inspired by Greek and Roman art and culture, and emulates the timeless and ideal forms of Roman decoration.

The neoclassical interiors were inspired by the rediscoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum in the late 1740s. These ancient cities were a major source of inspiration for Neoclassical decoration, bringing the ancient world to life with the inclusion of typical motifs such as framed medallions, vases, urns, sphinxes and gryphons.
