There's tons of free information, great appraiser site links, tips and tricks plus my "just about daily" blog. I try to post everyday….So, lets get to the video….
Let us begin with the turn of the 17th Century….
William and Mary 1690-1730
Queen Anne 1720-1760
Louis XVI, 1760-1789
Chippendale 1755-1790
Sheraton 1790-1810
Federal (Hepplewhite) 1790-1815
Empire (Classical) 1805-1830
Victorian, 1830-1890
The Gothic Revival 1840-1860
Rococo Revival 1845-1870
Naturalistic 1850-1914
Eastlake 1870-1890
Arts & Crafts 1895-1915
Art Nouveau 1896-1914
Art Deco, 1920-1945
Modernism 1940-present
I hope this helps in some way or you at least got something out of it. If you are interested and like me, "use the google" and look at lots and lots of pictures of each. Learn their legs & the woods used in each period. Their feet, their hardware designs, carvings and look for the "tell" of the period. I found that each period has that one particular thing that will resonate with you. I personally have found visual aids to be the best. There are so many great sites and free online tools out there today, but you still can't beat having a pocket field guide and I was surprise they are still in print. I got links to all the stuff on joshlevinespeaks.com …. I haven't found the furniture ID App yet, but I should probably invent one. It would make it a lot easier for the folks in the appraisal, estate and auction businesses. That's for sure.
Okay, we've had fun and I am wrapping up so do your part and subscribe below and share with a friend…also, leave a comment if you would be so kind!
Until next time….

I have an exam on furniture history tomorrow and this totally helped ☺️
Let me know how you do. I had such a hard time with that in Auction School.
Super great vid. :) Not mentioning the pause in the two world war periods was strange. Also the nostalgia effect - two generations later you get copies (not fakes) of the period.
Your videos have improved so much from when you first started. Excellent delivery. Fantastic information and education. Just the right amount of editing.
Thank you so much...that means a lot. I plan on making more educational, but keeping it fun. I wish I knew the editing software better. It's capable of so much more. Plus a director as my delivery could be so much smoother. Its a little robotic for me yet...I am learning every day ! Take care and see you again soon !
This guy is amazing no nonsense he tells you what you need to know.
Thank you Brian...that is so kind !
This is a very good and to the point history of furniture and just what I've been looking for to start my research thank you!
Glad it was helpful....i just tried to create what I wish I would of had for Auction Class. I what to make a better one with more visuals one day.
Thank you so much for this!
Brilliantly made.
Thank you....that's so kind !
Very informative without being boring lol,thank you.
So nice of you. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for producing this. My parents decorated their house like it was a doll house. After Eastlake came American oak 1890 -1920, The staple style of Sears and Montgomery Wards. Empire revival 1910-1920, Jacobean revival (my favorite) 1915-1935. Influenced by silent films and castles. Colonial revival then Modernism. And I think that sums it up to World War 2. MCM, Formica, Futurism, Pine Pillow/plush, Brass and Glass, RTA, Tubular and beyond. What's next?
That's awesome....i thought about shooting a 20th century design by the decade video but have been focused on my auction show and producing another series. It would make a great show though and I might find time to do it. Thanks for watching and the inspiration.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me a lot in my assignment !
I am so glad to hear that....thank you !
Awesome Video. Thank you for sharing all your expertice.
Thank you for the kind words....I love doing videos like this.
You're wonderful. Made a rather dry subject a lot of fun. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate that. I tried to do just that !
Great presentation, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the feedback.
Just what I was looking for Thank you
That is so kind. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for making the video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback.
Amazing, I glad someone explaining the difference. I’m neo-baroque/rococo girl. But the thing about old furniture even if you mix it stills looks good.
Gothic and Queen Anne also have my heart.
So true...i like when i see the mid mod and contemporary people, still throw in a good period piece for pop, or a conversation piece.
Very educational ! Thanks ! Really enjoyed. How about more videos on each period?❤️
I thought about that....the challenge was getting go visuals but I now have access to those so that's a great idea...thanks for the input and kind words. I'll see what I can do.
Going to start calling myself Rococo; for I am not remotely straight. 😂 … anyway … Good video. Nice pacing, and solid information. Couldn’t help but notice that your first pictorial example of Eastlake featured some Empire lines. I like Empire, as well. My attention wains with Arts & Crafts. I appreciate it, but it just doesn’t have all that juicy, filigree, jaw dropping visual detail that many earlier styles feature.
Haha ! Love it. Thanks so much. I like Gothic but no one else in the house does. YET !
Very nice video thank you!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it....i really appreciate the feedback !
i liked the blog post too but video is always better
Thank you....i like the visual too.
Well done sir.
Thank you so much !
What about all that mahogany furniture mainly bedroom sets maybe 1920-50? I was hoping to see where it was made maybe som vintage footage?
I plan on doing a 20th century episode at some point....there is so much to cover. That depression era has some really cool stuff and interesting stories.
Like a revision for exam 😂
I've got a piece of furniture that I don't know what it is. It's a big 3-drawer with square legs and two different size hand carved dove tailed drawers. There is no back on it, and I don't see any marks on it. The original drawer pulls are missing. I'd love to send you a picture of it. It doesn't match anything you've mentioned in this video.
Feel free to send me photos - josh@joshlevinespeaks.com I'll take a look
Please do most awesome video on Ninja shurikens.I like these very much.
That would be fun...here's a fun fact: shuriken would be buried in dirt or animal feces, allowing it to harbor the bacterium Clostridium tetani....that way, if the point penetrated a victim deeply enough, the bacteria transferred into the wound could cause a then-incurable tetanus infection. Yikes....
Do one on your silver blog too.
I was thinking about that too...thanks for watching !
I love the burgundy and gold. In the first second of your video what period is that?
I always think of Russian Imperial with those colors. This was a museum shot and 18th Century for the moat part.
Brand new subscriber.Really wish you would do something on tables with ornate Carvings of ladies faces On the legs .Trying to identify a piece I have Inherited. Would like to know if it has any value and if it's worth repairing as it has extensive damage. Thanks so much
Hi Judy. SOunds Victorian Era. Send me a few photos and I'll take a look. josh@joshlevinespeaks.com
How about Biedermeier?
I almost did that. I will most likely include that on my updated version of this subject...along with Georgian and a few others. Thanks for the feedback and super thank you watching.
Im interested in a educational book that has many styles like this video, any recommendations?
This is a broad overview - amzn.to/3RBLLiC if you want a good world crash course. If you are looking more american from colonial to "modern" - amzn.to/3STg2dT
@@JoshLevineSpeaks Thank you, I will absolutely purchase them.
I will share with guy taking auction school.
I hope it helps....let me know if he likes it and what school he's going too.
Is there luxury brands today that makes 19th century and below styled furniture?
Yes. A lof of the higher end luxury design furniture co repeat the styles often. Look at what THomas Blakemore has recently released - www.thomasblakemore.com/
Mary was not a consort! She and William we're equal in status, and SHE had the stronger claim to the throne. 🤦🏻♀️😂
Oh yes, i did go by the white washed history books with that line. You are correct and I'd love to have a time machine to see how off we truly are on most of that history.
What happened to Georgian?
I did miss a few in there...i do plan on making a better one of these soon with more visuals. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
Cnc machines in the 19th century?
I understand, and yes, you are technically correct. The CNC as we call it first appeared in the 1940s when the 1st Numerical Control machines emerged....however turning machines appeared in the 18th Century....machines began replacing several handcrafting techniques and precision.
As slick as a used car salesman.
Have you seen the prices of used cars these days. Now that's a skill.
more pictures, examples would have been good
I was going to use chair backs too, but might just do a video on legs and chair backs. Thanks for the great appreciated feedback.
@@JoshLevineSpeaks Yes please! I have to teach interior design virtually without a textbook and this video is perfect. A chair backs and legs would be a great complement
I am so glad you liked it....i am going to do a more in depth series....i just could get photo licensing for chair backs, more feet etc. Hard to do with an iPhone and no budget but....i might have a sponsor soon.
