American Furniture Periods

Collectors Guide

It is important to realize that American Furniture Periods do not always hold to a rigid time frame. The dates below are only a reference point.

FORM, DESIGN & PROPORTION, should be your criterion when collecting American Furniture, no matter what Period of Time you prefer.

Your next procedure is to learn the Knowledge of Stylistic Features, Structure, Woods and their Oxidation, Cabinetmaking & Restoration Techniques.

It is important to follow these steps to create a Collection of Quality.

The true Collector recognizes that the merits of the Collection is not only measured by its Beauty but also its Authenticity.
