EDWARDIAN FACTS ABOUT FURNITURE AND FASHION

The Edwardian furniture which included wardrobes and cabinets, served a dual purpose. Along with the obvious storage purpose, these also decorated the room where they were placed. Edwardian wardrobes and cabinets were mainly made of wood, mahogany being the most frequently used wood.

The Edwardian times were such that beauty and fashion were given a lot of importance by both men and women. But people were sensible in their dress styles and did not flaunt over the top dress codes.

Some of the finest craftsmen and their works arose in this period. Some of their works have found their way into modern times, with the elegant timeless designs becoming an inspiration for things that adorn the living rooms of the modern day.
