The “Jacobethan” style, a term coined by John Betjemann, was a decorative arts trend starting in the 1820s which combined various design sources from Jacobean, Elizabethan and Stuart periods to inform contemporary 19th century furniture. It continued to flourish throughout the 1830s and 1840s, as particularly evident in some Gothic-inspired furniture by Pugin for the Palace of Westminster.
