  English Renaissance-Neoclassic Adam Characteristics Chairs Modern Round Back Chairs  The modern round back chair clearly took inspiration from the Adam Characteristics Chairs.

French Canopy Bed Modern four post Bed  The reason a canopy bed was created was to be able to close the curtains and have privacy. All of the modern versions of the bed have no curtains it is all just for the aesthetics. The modern version is very minimalistic and sleek and the older version is more ornate.
