Makers of Fine Furniture Since 1975
Trusted by 250,000+ CustomersNearly all of ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets have their styles deeply rooted in major periods of furniture design, which highlights the knowledge and respect our craftsmen have for our products. Furniture styles have a long, important and varied history (dating back as far as the Neolithic period), and here is an overview of two key styling periods and how they helped shaped a couple of ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets.
Baroque Style
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the most common furniture style was Baroque, an ornate and detail-oriented style that featured intricate carvings on arms of chairs, headboards and table feet. The most common woods used during this period were oak and walnut, as they were sturdy and easy to carve. One fine example of Baroque influence on ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets is the Willowcraft TV Lift Cabinet.
Contemporary
The 19th and 20th centuries gave rise to the modern and contemporary styles of American furniture. Largely credited to Charles Eames, modern design sometimes took on a “space age” look (especially from the 1950s to 1970s), and materials like plastic, cloth and foam became standard accompaniments to hardwoods. A modern masterpiece from ImportAdvantage is the Moderna TV Lift Cabinet.
