Cottage-type furniture that is attractive and comfortable is generally available. Notice how

This is Martha Washington's sitting room. The Hepplewhite chair at the left, the all-curved
tilt-top table against the wall, the Baroque wing chair, and the Neo-Qassic center table are
beautiful models that are copied by manufacturers. The person who is buying period styles
should try to get pieces like the originals provided that they are comfortable.
