History
  • The Federal Period, spanning roughly from 1780 to 1820, is characterized by a style that merges classical influences with American craftsmanship, representing a significant era in American furniture making.
  • Mahogany was a favored material during this period, valued for its durability and rich color, which is indicative of the era's emphasis on both quality and beauty in furniture design.
  • Lion head motifs were popular in Federal furniture, symbolizing strength and nobility, and their presence on cabinet fittings may reflect the aesthetic values of early American society.
