"The term, 'period furniture.' is suggestive of the attempt, developed since 1850. to classify various types of antique furniture in groups according to the period ol their origin and popularity. These groups are named either after the monarchs. English or French, under whom given styles oi furniture flourish ed. or after the designers of given styles. Colonial Furniture "American colonial furniture is classified in two «ays. Since the joloniul period exit tided over nearly a century ann a half, pro ductions of that Mini are some times designated by the name of the English soveuign during whose reign the English cabinet makers produced Inc examples which American workmen follow ed. “The more convenient classifi cation recognizes tlnec more or less distinct colonial periods—the early primitive penou. represent cd *"a 1 v ijv ri'p'.

which were made by local car penters to supply individual needs. Such pieces arc distinctly utilitarian and owe whatever beauty they may posses to the sincerity and innate artistry of the workman, rather than to studied effort. A later period, showing conscious copying of the styles of the gieat . English cabinet makers, Chippendale. Heppclwhitc. and olheis. by pro fessional American cabinet mak ers. In this period much of struc tural strength was sacrified for grace, elegance, and lightness of contour and ornament. The third period is the American Empire period, noted lor the coldness and formality of design, and often poor taste, characteristic of the Empire Period in Europe, but re lieved by some American pieces, especially the sofas and certain chairs of excellent workmanship." Nine Groups Mrs. Elliott staled that she had found period furniture to be classified in nine groups. She gave die names and dates of these groups and then gave a short description ot each witn emphasis on those periods or styles which are most likely to be •een m homes today.
