CAVE SHOP 36 MAIN STREET i XW Dallas, yor Early By lo Qriielrs Story of American Furniture Collecting Antiques in America Author of American Furniture Makers *Reg. U. S. Pat. Off. ALTHOUGH furniture before the era of factory production was made to order, small-sized pieces for in- fants and children were not over- looked. In England they were made as early as the Tudor period and in America the only piece of furniture known to have come ashore from the Mayflower was a wicker cradle which rocked the infant, Peregrine White who was born aboard ship and lived past the turn of the 18th Century. During his life span he saw Mas- sachusetts grow from nothing to a prosperous colony of some fifty thousand people who lived in houses that compared favorably with those left behind in England, both as to size and furnishings. There, and in the other eleven colonies that were settled during those eighty years, life grew easier and house furnishings more plenti- ful. Among these were small chairs, beds. chests of drawers and the like for children. Such pieces were sturdy of construc- tion and simple of adornment sinceseven in the days of stern discipline, childish possessions had to be tough to survive. How- ever, this small-size furniture’ was made as carefully as that for adults and was influenced by the same trends in fashion. From the numbers that have survived, chairs appear to have been especially popular. The little armchair shown here is a simplified version of a turned chair that developed in southern New England early in the 18th Century. Its turned parts and shaping of arms were similar to the banister and €lat-back chairs of the period, but the back with its central splat and yoke- shaped top reflected the Queen Anne style which reached America about 1715 and re- mained popular well past the middle of the century. Inc.den- Antique Chairs for Children They were made from about 1725 to the end of the hand-craft period. Arm-less ones are even favored to- day by adults as durable chairs for use in front of a fireplace. 1 have an arrow-back Windsor rocker which was made by the local cabinet- maker in a small Vermont town be- tween 1830 and 1835 for a child of seven. Sturdy and strong as the day it was made, it has rocked four generations of youngsters as well as those of a considerably larger growth and is still in constant use. Examples of four post beds, chests of drawers and even desks for chil- dren in various styles from: Chippen- dale to the Victorian have survived the years but they are much less A CHILD’S CHAIR 200 YEARS AGO This chair with its vase-shaped back splat, curved top-piece, turned front and rear tally, the central splat having somewhat the silhouette of a vi- legs and splint seat, was made by some New England village chairmaker between 1740 and 1760. A child between three and five PENNA. olin earned for this type of chair the name “fiddle-back.” Like many of these latter-day appel- lations, 1t is a misnomer, since the original inspiration was the oviform vases imported from China to Eng- land at the time. But names have a way of sticking, so chairs with a vase-shaped splat, whether plain or ornate. continue to be called “fiddle- backs.” oe Much more numerous were the slat-backs and Windsors in sizes suited to children. They ranged from high chairs to low-hung arm and side chairs, with or without rockers. The Windsors were as varied as those made for adults and included comb-back, hoop-back, bow-back, rod-back, and arrow-back types. years oid can still sit in it very comfortably. numerous than chairs. From which one infers that while the average parents could finance a chair or two for the younger members of the fam- ily, furnishings for an entire room in the pint size came under the head of luxury. In this category also would be the fine miniature furniture, believed to have been shop models of larger pieces. This furniture-in-the-little ran the gamut of household pieces and was produced in the varied style periods in vogue during the cabinet- making years. Some of it probably later became toys for the children of well-to-do clients, while especially fine cabinets and other case pieces served as jewel and trinket boxes. ® it Nv Lo
