It can be seen that the list of periods above does not exactly tie-up with the list of Monarchs below, This can be useful in cross-referencing to pinpoint the date of a piece of furniture. It can on the other hand, also be confusing, if one is not aware of the relationship between the lists.

The lists of Monarchs and periods will continue to grow, however it's probably safe to say there will always be about 100 yrs between the last officially recognised period and the present time. In the meantime we rely on more immediate labels, such as Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, all encompassing the modern movement. We should not forget Shaker and Danish Modern, as all these styles have had an enormous influence on what we have come to consider Modern Furniture.
