As people began farming, permanent settlements were established. Settlements grew as a direct result of the growth of farming communities. People within the farming communities created permanent structures that became their homes. Furniture was built as a direct result of building permanent homes in which the furniture could reside.
Ancient Egyptian Furniture
Ancient Greek Furniture
Roman Furniture
Anglo-Saxon Furniture
Saxon furniture was very simple. A Saxon hall was typically only one room shared by many people. Thanes (upper class Saxons) and their followers slept on beds with straw mattresses and pillows but poorer people slept on the floor. It is believed that Saxon furniture was basic and heavy such as wooden benches and wooden tables. In some upper class homes, although Tapestries hung on the walls there were no panes in the windows.
Furniture in the Middle Ages
Medieval furniture was very basic. Even in a rich household, chairs were rare. Often, only the lord sat on a chair, to help establish the lord as the 'chairman'. Most people sat on stools or benches. Rich people also had tables and large chests, usually made of oak, which doubled up as beds. The homes of the rich often displayed wool tapestries or painted linen on the walls. They were not just for decoration as they also helped keep out draughts.
16th Century Furniture
Although expensive, chairs became more common in the 16th century. Even in an upper class home, children and servants sat on stools. Seating in a poor family was comprised of stools and benches. Glass windows became much more common in the 16th century. However, the poor still had to make do with strips of linen soaked in linseed oil, and chimneys were still a luxury. Poor people simply had a hole in the roof to let out the smoke. In the 16th century, wealthy Tudor houses lined the walls with oak paneling to keep out drafts. People slept in four-poster beds hung with curtains to reduce drafts. Some people had wallpaper but it was very expensive. Other wealthy people hung tapestries or painted cloths on their walls. The improvements in 16th century furniture did not apply to the poor. They continued to live in simple huts with one or two rooms (occasionally three). Smoke escaped through a hole in the thatched roof. Floors were of hard earth and furniture was very basic, used only for benches, stools, a table and wooden chests. They slept on mattresses stuffed with straw or thistledown. The mattresses lay on ropes strung across a wooden frame.
17th Century Furniture and life in Tudor Times
Furniture was decorated in new ways. One of these techniques was called veneering, where thin pieces of expensive wood were laid over cheaper wood. Some furniture was also inlaid. Wood was carved out and the hollow was filled in with mother of pearl. At this time lacquering arrived in England. Pieces of furniture were coated with lacquer in bright colors. Furthermore new types of furniture were introduced in Stuart times. In the mid 17th century chests of drawers became common. Grandfather clocks also became popular. Later in the century the bookcase was introduced. Chairs also became far more comfortable. Upholstered (padded and covered) chairs became common in wealthy people's homes. In the 1680s the first real armchairs appeared.
18th Century Furniture
Little is known of Hepplewhite’s life except that he was apprenticed to the English furniture maker Robert Gillow of Lancaster, went to London, and opened a shop there on Redcross Street. Other than his noting on a chair design that it had been “executed with good effect for the Prince of Wales,” there is no other evidence to show that Hepplewhite’s was a fashionable firm; furthermore, the royal accounts have no record of the chair. After his death his estate was administered by his widow, Alice, who carried on the business. In America the first great cabinet makers were Duncan Phyfe (1768-1854), John Goddard (1724-1785) and Samuel McIntire (1757-1811).
19th Century Furniture
20th Century Furniture
In the 1920s and 1930s new styles of furniture and architecture were introduced. Among these styles are Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Art Deco used geometric shapes instead of the flowing lines of the earlier Art Nouveau. The name Art Deco came from an exhibition held in Paris in 1925 called the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs. Because of the large selection of materials available in the 20th century, and due to an awareness of historical trends in furniture, as well as cross-cultural esthetics, 20th century furniture has many styles and implementations. The 20th century introduced more unique and different styles of furniture than all three previous centuries put together.
