An extensively illustrated survey of the major forms and makers of the "plain style" of furniture made and used by Georgians in the 1800s. Simply designed, solidly constructed of local woods, and usually unadorned, such pieces were used daily. Today, this furniture is read by historians, folklorists, and others for clues into a past way of life.
