Quick Tips on Period Antique Furniture

Period antique furniture was made from the mid to late 1600s through the first part of the 19th century. The Goddard Townsend family of Newport, Rhode Island produced some of the most renowned and valuable pieces made during this period.


There are many periods of antique furniture, which overlap. Each subsequent period influenced the style of its successors. The major periods can be broken down into Colonial and Federal, however.


The Colonial period dates from around 1620 to 1780 and includes Jacobean, Queen Anne and Chippendale styles. The Federal period extends from 1780 through 1820 and incorporates Hepplewhite, Sheraton and Classical styles.
