Antique Furniture for
Living Rooms
Family Rooms
Dens
A LIVING ROOM is a room for entertaining guests, reading, watching TV, or other activities. In modern homes and apartments, the living room has replaced the old fashioned parlor of yesteryear. Typically, a living room will be furnished with a sofa, chairs, occasional tables, perhaps a television and/or stereo equipment, bookshelves, as well as other pieces of furniture.
A FAMILY ROOM is an informal living area usually located adjacent to the kitchen. In many modern homes, the family room is where family and guests usually gather for television watching, informal dining, conversation, and other family activities. Often the family room has doors leading to outdoor.
A DEN is a room that is comfortable and secluded.

A ROOM FOR LIVING...In the earliest homes the colonists sat on low chests or primitive slab seat stools which had legs splayed outward to give them more stability. The basic design of these stools was later applied to wider benches, taller tables, and chairs. A practical seating design brought form England by the colonists was the "settee" - essentially a bench with sides an high back. As cabinetmakers' skills developed, other multiple-seat forms were produced: day beds, sofas and settees. But the primary seating form - handcrafted or manufactured - was as is today, the chair. >>Read Morris Chair History
Settees and sofas appeared in halls, parlors and bedchambers in early American homes. Before 1825 sofas were considered a luxury. The Mission settee, designed by Gustav Stckley, is made of oak and has a rush seat. It is reminiscent of settees made nearly a century earlier.
