Characteristics of Period furniture

When building period furniture, the design generally falls into one of two categories: Constructional or Stylistic.

01

Constructional

When the appearence of a piece reflects the way it is put together

02

Stylistic

Appearance conceals how it was put together. A principle common to this characteristic is where joints are flush with other members. The impression that the object is one piece is an indicator.

03

Carving

Carving is one of the oldest techniques. Through history, its popularity varies but it is one of the characteristics of Period Furniture adorned by so many. For instance, many chairback variations of the well-known Chippendale, skillful carving can be found.
