Early American Style
Simplest of Furniture

Colonial is a general term des-

period from 1903 to about 1880. On
the other hand Early American"
designates only one period OF this
span Of years-the very earliest.
from 1903 to about 1920
Early American is the simplest Of
all American styles. Few Of the
early settlers were from wealthy
classes, they were unsophisticated
pioneer people Of humble origin,
concerned primarily with providing
for their families the simple neces-
sites of life, Their first houses were
built Of pine because that wood was
plentiful all about them. There was
little thought Of making those houses
,hoWy' or pretty" or "decora-
tive. " Their purpose was to keep out
the weather, the forest animals and
Indians. Walls we're mostly wood
paneled because plaster was expen-
sive and hard to get.
The furniture that went into these
houses was extremely simple and
practical, features which are still
its greatest appeal. There were few
cablnet-makers among the settlers.
so carpenters turned their hand to
furniture making. Naturally they
copied, from memory for the most
part, the current styles in Europe.

vania settlers, for instance, were
originally from England and Ger
many; those in New England and
Virginia we're for the most part from
England those who settled along the
Hudson and Delaware rivers were
from Holland and Sweden. The fur
niture which they built, therefore.
was provincial versions Of the modes
of their respective countries
