Description
People need buildings earlier than the furniture. That is why the history of furniture is shorter than the history of architecture, but it is a little more confusing. But not because that was more complicated, because it is as complex and as simple as the stories of all the applied arts, but because – if you want to get to know it a little better – you have a little versed in the history of several nations. You have to, because in the terminology of historical furniture is a lot of references to either warlords in different countries and epochs, or the stories of people traveling between continents and carrying with them the traditions that new homelands often proved to be more durable than the old ones.
