Used Furniture Emerging:
The form of the chest of drawers and cabinet changed very little until around 1720, when Mahogany imported from Cuba and Honduras began to be used Furniture emerging in the manufacture of the finest pieces of furniture. With its dense grain and ease of working, Mahogany ideally suited the needs of an emerging wealthy clientele who were demanding a wider diversity of Furniture to house their ever-growing collections of valuable objects and expanding libraries. While the chest's primary function was still the storage of clothing, a new piece of Furniture emerged from France - the commode.Some of the early factories produced nearly all the standard Furniture forms; others special¬ized in one or more, but whether their product was a full line or limited, it was sold in whole¬sale quantities to a new type of merchant, the retail Furniture dealer. At first he referred to his establishment as a Furniture or cabinet warehouse and later as a Furniture store. If located in one of the larger cities he might also have his own factory but he was essentially a middle man and with his coming, direct contact between the maker and user of a piece of Furniture ended.
