Without really spending a huge amount of money you could do no worse than pick up one or all of these Georgian gems available at auction in two weeks. I've always stated that my preference is not to overload any one room with furniture exclusively from one period, and that it is more effective to mix eras. These pieces would enable you to do that with the joy and clarity of C18th English furniture.
