Recapturing 200-year-o- ld From terms Early The Traditional and Colonial are often used interchangeably in the furniture world. However, many homemakers notice distinct differ- ences in design of what they consider Early .American furnishings. The difference between American and Early American Traditional design is like the difference between a single piece of art and a museum. The difference between Early American and Colonial is more subtle, and the terms are often used interchangeably. In a strict design sense, however, Early American (or Early Colonial) is generally defined as the period from 1609 to the early 1790s, whereas Colonial covers 1700 to 1780. Next came Federal, 1780 to 1830, and after that American Victorian, 1830 to 1890. All these, and more, constitute American Traditional. Each period had its own look, as well as a certain amount of intermix with what had come before. Classic Early American, for example, is simple and utilitarian, w ith such items as wainscot chairs, trestle tables, and the ever-presechest made by local carpenters or by the householder himself. James I was king of England when Plymouth and Jamestown were settled and the primary design influence on Early American furniture was Jacobean, from Jacobus, the Latin for James. The most commonly used woods were native pine, birch, maple and walnut. By the early 18th century, the Colonial period, prosperity had come to urban centers in America. The demand for luxuries recalled from the Old World gave rise to a new class of artisan the skilled cabinetmaker, who produced fine American versions of the designs popular in England. Slowly the straight lines and massiveness of the Jacobean influence gave way to lighter, elaborately carved, veneered and inlaid furniture of the William and Mary period. Queen Anne was next, and its gentle curves and cabriole legs were a high point of Colonial design, followed by and mixed with the intricate patters of Chippendale. Walnut, oak, cherry, and then sunny colors, grow in popularity. Ron Wills, Simmons Director of Upholstered Products, suggests that with unsettled the straight lines, graceful proportion and relatively craftsmen Of course, none of these periods was confined to the design features most characteristic of the times, nor were the same trends followed in ail areas of the country. pattern. The traditional approach has been reinforced by the Bicentennial. Damasks and classic prints vie for attention with provincial designs and small patterns particularly adapted for the more casual interior. Moreover, some totally different forms associated with totally different life styles were developing concurrently in certain locales away from the sophisticated city scene.
