What is the difference between American furniture and European furniture?

  What is the difference between American furniture and European furniture? Let's analyze the difference between American furniture and European furniture:

  The most obvious difference from the furniture is that the American style is simpler, without gold and silver decorations, but very deliberately showing hand-carving, such as: Afudi furniture, Huanyi furniture, etc.; while the European classical style is extremely rich and luxurious, not to mention gold and silver, even jade, agate, and diamonds are inlaid, such as: Ouyibao, Magway, Zundian, etc..... In fact, the European style is very general, and there are some Italian-style furniture between the above two styles that give people the feeling of an ancient castle, such as Dafengfan...

  Characteristics of American furniture

  American furniture, as the name implies, is a style of furniture from the United States. American furniture is the most typical representative of colonial style furniture. It is one of the typical American furniture. As the largest colony in Europe, American furniture integrates the styles of various European countries, thus creating a new home style.

  American furniture places special emphasis on comfort, style, practicality and versatility. From the perspective of shape, American furniture can be divided into three categories: antique, neoclassical and country style.

  Antique style: The foundation of American furniture is the lifestyle brought by immigrants from various countries in the late Renaissance of Europe. From many classic furniture works handed down from generation to generation in the 18th and 19th centuries, we can see that due to the pioneering spirit and principle of advocating nature of the early American pioneers, furniture with elegant shapes but not overly decorated has become the representative work of typical American furniture. For example, the Queen Anne style with cat-foot curved legs (CabrioI Leg); the chairs of furniture design master Thomas Chippendale; the beautiful lines that John Godderd, a famous American native designer in the 18th century, is good at, which still occupy a certain weight in American furniture today.

  Neoclassical style: It came into being when classical furniture designers were seeking innovation and change. Designers combined classical style with their own unique style and modern spirit, making classical furniture colorful, which became the main feature of neoclassical style.

  Country style: It has always occupied an important position in American furniture. It has long been loved by consumers from all over the world because of its simple, bright and practical shape. In the 1998 furniture exhibition, multifunctional design was added. The appearance and materials still maintain a natural and simple style. The hidden drawers store space, making it look neater and more beautiful.

  On the whole, American furniture conveys the design concepts of simplicity, leisure, organization and versatility, making the home a pure land for releasing stress and liberating the mind.

  The most fascinating thing about American furniture is that its shapes, patterns, carvings and tones are exquisite and noble, and its intriguing parts reveal an ancient and long-lasting fragrance. Generally speaking, American furniture must go through several stages of work to highlight the American style. Various rare textures of different woods and different parts, and even special textures caused by pathological changes during the growth period of trees are all favorites of American furniture. Secondly, the wood is processed by natural drying and drying furnace drying to remove the gaps between the wood and moderately shrink the gaps between the grains to avoid curling and deformation. The third step is to choose the part of the wood to be taken. The best wood mostly comes from the heartwood of the wood and is close to the lower part of the trunk, and the center wood is usually darker than new wood or the outer wood. Simple style

  The furniture style of the United States is mainly rooted in European culture. When we say "American" furniture, we generally refer to Federal Style.

  Federal furniture is similar to neoclassical furniture, which was popular in Europe after 1760. Neoclassicism abandoned the novelty and extravagance pursued by the Baroque and Rococo styles, and was based on a new understanding of the classics, emphasizing simple, clear lines and elegant, appropriate decoration.

  American furniture and European furniture have very different treatments on some details. For example, American furniture is mainly painted in a single color, while European furniture mostly has decorative strips in gold or other colors.

  Another important feature of American furniture is its practicality. For example, there are tables specifically for sewing; large dining tables that can be extended or disassembled into several small tables.

  However, both European and American furniture attach great importance to decoration. In addition to bluebells, wheat sheaves and urn-shaped decorations, there are also some patterns that symbolize patriotism in the United States, such as eagle patterns. They are often decorated with mosaics and painted or bas-relief.
