colonial furniture

Colonial furniture refers to the practical and stylish pieces made during America’s colonial period, roughly from the early 1600s to the late 1700s. It often features sturdy construction, simple lines, and natural wood finishes, reflecting European influences brought by settlers. Common styles include Queen Anne, Hepplewhite, and Chippendale, known for elegant shapes, carved details, and functional designs suited for everyday life. Today, colonial furniture is valued for its craftsmanship, historical significance, and timeless appeal, often serving as collectible or decorative pieces that evoke America’s colonial heritage.
