GOLDEN OAK
by Fred Taylor
AMERICA'S GOLDEN AGE
America has had several periods that might be called the
"Golden Age" where furniture was concerned. The 18th
century saw great art in isolated locations like
Newport, RI and New York. The Federal period of the
early 19th century saw a prolific expansion of American
furniture craftsmanship but it was, after all, dependent
a great deal on English designers. Then there was the
great Rococo Revival period that rehashed 18th century
French extravagances followed by the Renaissance Revival
that celebrated architectural concepts. Even the great
"people's" style of Arts and Crafts began in England and
was based on medieval English traditions.
