Oak Bedroom Furniture
American oak bedroom furniture has a rich history. Oak was commonly used in furniture construction due to its high availability in many parts of the country. But the abundance of this material was not the only characteristic that made oak so desirable. The durability and the level of craftsmanship found in many oak pieces made them not only functional but also desired as display pieces. The History of Oak Bedroom Furniture
There was a period when oak was not as prevalent in America. During the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries, oak was used extensively in Europe. It is the European tradition that would eventually make its way to America. One of the reasons oak would be come so popular in America was because the types of oak found here were more malleable than their European counterparts. White oak, for instance, was easier to carve and form into shape. The color of American oak furniture would also play a part in oak's development. Golden oak, as this light color oak was often called, retained a golden tone very different from the dark wood common in Europe. The 1800s saw a boom in the production of oak furniture, allowing prices to drop and more Americans to own these ornate, durable pieces. While styles and the construction of oak furniture have continued to change (oak veneers have commonly replaced heavy solid oak pieces), the beauty of oak furniture remains. Mail order catalogs made buying oak bedroom furniture possible even in more rural areas of the country. Today the Internet makes buying oak furniture a breeze. At Bedroom Furniture USA, we offer a number of oak bedroom furniture collections from many of the top furniture manufacturers in the country.
