Popular in America from roughly 1780 to 1830, Federal furniture reflects the refined elegance of the early United States, influenced by neoclassical European styles. Characterized by delicate proportions, straight lines, and symmetrical designs, Federal furniture often features intricate inlays, tapered legs, and graceful curves. Mahogany, cherry, and maple were commonly used, sometimes accented with satinwood or ebony veneers. Decorative motifs such as urns, eagles, stars, and swags, along with brass hardware, add to its formal yet understated beauty. Notable forms include sideboards, Pembroke tables, and shield-back chairs, many inspired by the works of designers like Hepplewhite and Sheraton.
