With the Revolution came the end of the Colonial period and thus began the Federal period. After the war ended, the English influenced was used enough to give way to other styles, namely the French with Influences from Italian. The import of Furniture made by English cabinet makers became a violation of national pride for Americans, however they followed the Sheraton and Hepplewhite styles, popular in England, very closely. The new style developed showed the confidence of the new republic and the style became more traditional and the American eagle became a frequently used motif in the decorations.
Sideboards became more popular during the federal period due to the separation of dining areas and their use for serving food. There was an increase in ladies writing desks, which showed growth and acceptance of education for women. (Mi)
