Mercantilists formed a close league with free traders by sucking them up to new "Gentleman" class, and ruled England in the interests of the commerce and the Empire. Transformation of the architectural taste was continuously and finely graded as the English social order was. Snobs of free traders, who were looking for an adventurous advance into new worlds, inherited the idea of Palladianism and shared so called "Gentleman Culture". They mix the Palladian and the Gothick taste to make Palladian Gothiek. Rococo was agreeable for free traders who had strong bent for going to the expense of acquiring "surveyable" wealth". Decorated Gothic reminds snobs of a pleasant success story, namely promotion to be "Gentleman" class, of Middle Ages merchants. They mixed the freedom and universality of Rococo, and Englishness of Decorated Gothic to make Rococo Gothick. Then, Palladian / Rococo Gothick became a status symbol for newly born gentlemen of free traders.
