The French taste has highly marked its presence in the southern states (after the [[French Revolution]] some emigrants have moved here, and in Canada a big part of the population has French origins). The practical spirit and the material situation of the Americans at that time gave the interiors a typic atmosphere. All the American furniture, carpets, tableware, ceramic, and silverware, with all the European influences, and sometimes [[Islamic art|Islamic]], [[Turkish art|Turkish]] or [[Asian art|Asian]], were made in conformity with the American norms, taste, and functional requirements. There have existed in the US a period of the [[Queen Anne style architecture#American Queen Anne|Queen Anne style]], and an [[Thomas Chippendale|Chippendale]] one. A style of its own, the Federal style, has developed completely in the 18th and early 19th centuries, which has flourished being influenced by Britannic taste. Under the impulse of Neoclassicism, architecture, interiors, and furniture have been created. The style, although it has numerous characteristics which differ from state to state, is unitary. The structures of architecture, interiors, and furniture are Classicist, and incorporate [[Baroque]] and [[Rococo]] influences. The shapes used include rectangles, ovals, and crescents. [[Stucco]] or wooden panels on walls and ceilings reproduce Classicist motifs. Furniture tend to be decorated with floral [[marquetry]] and bronze or brass inlays (sometimes [[gilding|gilded]]).<ref>{{cite book |last1= Graur|first1=Neaga|title=Stiluri în arta decorativă|date=1970|publisher=Cerces|pages=269, 270, & 271|language=ro}}</ref>
