Home Furniture In The 19th Century
The design and development of furniture over the centuries had been steady and predictable. It was largely influenced by the availability of materials, and the changing fashions of the eras. Armoires were designed for suits of armour, but later became wardrobes for clothing. Chairs lost their arms to accommodate wide skirts, and became upholstered and comfortable to fit in with the drawing rooms of fashionable ladies.
To quote William Cowper: Necessity invented stools, convenience next suggested elbow-chairs, and luxury the accomplish’d Sofa last.
The 18th century had been dominated by fine cabinetmakers such as Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton, and their craftsmanship and designs are still loved and admired today. However, more change was on the horizon in the later part of the 19th century, with the Arts and Crafts movement, as it became known, which integrated craft traditions with mass production techniques aimed at the growing mass markets.
Thomas Hope (1769-1831): Hope was born in Amsterdam, Holland, and was descended from a Scottish family of successful London merchants. At the age of 18 he began a tour of Europe, Asia and Africa which greatly affected his later artistic designs. His furniture was in the style of ‘English Empire’ which was defined by extravagant and heavy designs, and he became an exponent of the Regency style of decorative arts. Like his predecessors before him, he published a book of designs in 1807 called ‘Household Furniture and Interior Decoration’.
William Morris (1834-1896): Morris is a well-known name today for his legacy of poetry writing and textiles. He introduced heavy floral patterns to the drawing rooms of the day, in glass, wallpaper, textiles, and also in furniture. He was associated with the Arts and Crafts movement of that time, and his decorative arts firm produced “The Green Drawing Room” which is on display today in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Gustav Stickley (1858-1942): Stickley began his working life as a furniture maker and architect. He was an active member of the American Craftsman Movement, similar to the British Arts and Crafts movement. His house designs were innovative, with open floor plans, fitted bookcases and benches and large windows for natural light. He created his own style of furniture in the ‘Mission Oak Style’ which was made of American oak. He made simple, useful furniture. Sadly the popularity of his designs was short-lived and he declared himself bankrupt. Perversely, his styles are now in vogue, with his simple mission-style furniture reaching high prices at auction today.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928): Charles Rennie Mackintosh is another household name in design today. He was primarily an architect and designer and a great exponent of Art Nouveau, but his progressive ideas spilled out into his furniture designs. Together with his wife, Mackintosh had a great influence on the changing styles from the Arts and Crafts movement to the radical mass-produced Art Nouveau styles of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

What is the quality / value of an old furniture store Hickory camelback, Chippendale style sofa?
The upholstery is pistachio velvet, wooden legs and the brakes are mahogany color, and has a considerable length, with a cushion. Judging from the Knicks in the woodwork, minor rough spots on the web, and 70 color and material, is several decades old. The structure is solid, and coils and padding are in excellent condition. It is very comfortable, and was quite affordable for a local thrift store.
This issue has taken a weeks without response. An article as it is very difficult to assess. Not old enough to be considered an antique, they do not appear in the old price guides. I suspect that the only way the value of knowing what is worth to you. If you are satisfied with the price you paid, and intend to keep it, do not worry too much about their "value. Because it is relatively new, you can refinish the wood and reupholster the piece without damaging its "value … as it might if it was a antiique. If you decide to sell, you may considered a luxury used furniture consignment shop. They usually have a good feel for the value of good furniture. Bring some good photos and is probably willing to offer an opinion. You may also want to look like objects that have been sold on e-bay to get an idea of their "value. Good luck with your search information.
