Wow, Mibs, that was fast! 'Tho I've always seen it as transitional, that's splitting hairs. I've got to find harder questions.

Empire and Duncan Phyfe are the ones that come immediately to mind. Any more?

Art Nouveau? Thought it to be turn of the century (20th) period. Roughly 1890-1915.

The American equivalent of empire is federal (in England it’s regency), and Duncan Phyfe is usually though of as a subdivision of federal. There really isn't an American equivilant of any of the Louis styles untill the revivals of the later 19th century.
