1607–1780
American Colonial
English forms, American timber
English forms built from American timber. The vocabulary arrives from London — William and Mary, Queen Anne, Chippendale — and is made in oak, pine, maple and cherry, often by joiners who had never seen the original.
What to look for
Secondary woods that do not match the primary, hand-wrought iron, and a patina that is uneven because the house was.
