Traditional Style Furniture in Toronto

The traditional style of furniture refers to pieces made up until the end of the Victorian era, or late 19^th century. It was at this point that the modernist movement began, and the style shifted. Traditional furniture represents a regal style and is meant to reflect what monarchs and royals of the era would use in their homes.

Often, you will notice these distinct qualities in traditional furniture:

• Thick wood often stained dark.
• Intricate deep carvings.
• Ball or claw feet, wingbacks on chairs and couches.
• Elaborate inlays made of brass or exotic materials.
• Generally large and heavy.
• Wood trim on upholstered pieces.

Furniture of this period is often made of mahogany, cherry, and maple. Fabric and upholstery are made of high-end materials including leather, velvet, and silk, and is often button-tufted.
