Divided into the reigns of James T. and Charles 1., then later to the more severe period of the Commonwealth or Oliver Cromwell and last the reign of Charles 11., and James 11. Puritan ideal was against all sensual beauty as being sinful and as a result a severe-formal-impersonal style, symbolic of nothing and lacking naturalistic ornament, which is known as the only pure English Period. The object of the times was to convey rather a rugged simplicity with structural strength and directness, lacking as far as possible comfort. While this may have fulfilled its purpose, a reaction set in with the reign of William and Mary, known as the Queen Anne period and with the Dutch influence of curved lines and fusion of the French spirit the furniture of this period became one of real comfort. To-day manufacturers of furniture refrain from reproducing too accurately the type that was a feature of the severe period, particularly in regard to chair seats and upholstered furniture. By embodying the structural features in the furniture and a little of the later period in the seats and upholstery, we arrive at a class of furniture that makes a strong appeal to the individual of to-day., linking as it does the restrained taste of three centuries ago with the feelings of this generation.
