Wooden furniture

==History==
In 1720 the Englishman John Cumberland got his commission for a procedure during which wood was cambered for ship construction.\nThis new technique provided the basis for the production of wooden furniture that started in 1834.\nIn 1794 Vidier cambered wood in London by steaming it and making it smooth in salt solutions.\nAlmost 40 years later, the German Michael Thonet picked up on this method and started to manufacture furniture.
==Did You Know That?==
Great-grandad´s good old wooden furniture, varnished or otherwise, still decorates the rooms of many typical homes.\nThose who collect antiques consider it a valuable investment, while others simply prefer wood because it is timeless, natural, healthy and solid.\nThe durable appeal of an old-fashioned grandfather clock or a delicate Biedermeier drawer-secretary is neither affected by woodworms nor the sun's rays.
