PHOTOGRAPH of room interior with heavily carved Jacobean table with flowers on.

Jacobean furniture refers to the styles of England influenced by the reign of King James (r. 1603 - 1625). The style remained in use until about 1650, and during this time it represented an important transition between medieval Tudor furniture and the early English Renaissance styles of Elizabeth. Jacobean furniture was often geometric and symmetrical, with a strong influence on rectilinear shapes and lines. It was straightforward in design but decorated with carvings of Classical or intricate geometric motifs. It was more complex than previous furniture, and for the first time furniture makers began consistently treating their pieces like three-dimensional objects that would be seen from all sides. Due to the bulkiness and weight of medieval furniture, English furniture objects were made to only be seen from one direction. Jacobean furniture was still heavy compared to later styles, but was now light and mobile enough that designers had to pay attention to details and ornamentation from every visible angle.
