AMERICAN FURNITURE: LATER COLONIAL-18TH CENTURY

Secretary


In the 18th century, though the use of walnut wood continued, mahogany became the widely used wood in furnitures. The Rococo style influence became visible within the designs and the acquired wealth allowed the development in the Colonial furniture style. As to add refinement to the style, the legs of furniture consisted of cabriole legs with animal legs or shell carvings. By 1750 there was a distinct style of cabinet making and the furniture were comparable with those of the better English work. In America, they had developed individual styles, with architectural details. (Mi)
