A DINING ROOM- EARLY GEORGIAN PERIOD
Ancient Romans similarly took their meals in a
special room called a triclinium, whose couches
had evolved to accommodate women as well as men.
Whim and the season determined their location.
In the stifling Mediterranean summers they were
chosen for their ability to catch breezes in
winter, to block drafts. Some of them might offer
a view of the sea others, vast plains.

Triclinia Representation
The Romans sometimes even set up their dining
rooms outdoors in order to enjoy al fresco their
swallows tongues and other delicacies. The most
luxurious dining spaces bred ease and amazement
in equal measure. Triclinia in Pompeii featured
fountains from which water splashed and streamed
from each table. Guests of one Loreius Tiburtinus
plucked tidbits from large basins in rooms
bearing brightly painted images of mythological
figures.

A DINING ROOM-MIDDLE GEORGIAN PERIOD
Comfort grew with increased trade, and with it
changed notions of home .Parlors, dining

nation seemed to have its own idea as to what
constituted a proper dining room. The great
Renaissance architect Leon There were dining
room for summer, one for winter, and one for
middling seasons. Some two centuries later
Englishman William Sanderson would recommend that
a Dyning-Roome be hung with pictures of kings
and queens.

eating in secluded comfort reinforced status and
class cohesion. Elite men of the most
powerful poleis gathered on fragrant evenings in
rooms especially designed for feasting. These
rooms accommodated no more than eleven couches of
stone or wood, each of which in turn accommodated
no more than two men.

A DINING ROOM- LOUIS XIV PERIOD
For all the talk of appointments fit for royalty,
perfection of the dining room came only with the
rise of a middle class. Between 1350 and 1560
people began to eat and live better, thanks in
part to greater availability of meat and dairy
products in the wake of the Black Death, and to
the development of a market economy. Where meat
and milk abounded labor was scarce. Pay went up
as a result. In some parts of England,

A DINING ROOM- LOUIS XVI PERIOD
Victorians would take Stimmung to an often
unbelievably cluttered extreme. They spent
lavishly on their dining rooms, outfitting them
with upholstered chairs, mahogany sideboards,
pewter jugs, bone china, linen napkins and
tablecloths, and silver cutlery. They read
architectural guides and kitchen utensil catalogs
as thick as phonebooks. Mealtime for them was an
event, and they staged the satisfaction of their
appetites in surroundings as comfortable as they
could afford.
