 Italianate Architectural Style
 Italianate Architectural Style "Italianate", also known as Tuscan or Lombard, describes the style of villas which developed in England, emerging from the Picturesque Movement of the 1840s, which, in turn, had emerged as a rebellion against the classical styles of art and architecture which had dominated for the previous two hundred years.

In interior decoration there were direct parallels to "Italianate" architecture, in free recombinations of decorative features drawn from Italian 16th-century architecture and objects, which were applied to purely 19th-century forms. Wardrobes and dressers could be dressed in Italianate detailing as well as row houses. The spur to such commercial designs can be found in the "free Renaissance" style that was espoused by Charles Eastlake. In 1868 he published Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery and other Details which was very influential in Britain and later in the United States, where the book was published in 1872. Today "Italianate" furnishings are often called "Eastlake" by North American collectors and dealers, but contemporary terms for such broadly classicizing designs ranged imaginatively, and included "Neo-Grec".
