- An Introduction to Antique Furniture
by Stephen Morgan. Furniture has been a domestic necessity in all civilisations, ancient to modern (and in-between) and has been produced in large quantities over the centuries.

- The Popular Styles And Influential Eras Of Antique Furniture

- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part IV
by John Wigham. Only one form of American needlework is wholly American, without root or kin in the Old World; that is our pieced patchwork. Oh, patches are nothing new.
Ancient Egyptians sewed fabric to fabric, and in medieval Europe women applied cloth to cloth. Patches are as old as poverty. In rags and patches the first workers came to America. Patches belonged to workers, to the poor, low-class subjects of... products, articles, news
- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part III
by John Wigham. In typical Old World needlework, each detail is a particle of the whole; no part of the design can stand alone, whole and complete in itself. The background is solid, the pattern is formal, and a border encloses all.
