American Furniture has become a significant symbol for America. This decorative arts and furniture collection were created over a century ago and has now become one of the most valuable collections of its kind in the world. Since its establishment, American Furniture and other antique furniture from the American colonial period to the present day, is an integral part of American history and tradition. These historic American antique furniture items have been lovingly restored and are on display in the Antique American Furniture Museum located in Washington, D.C. This museum houses one of the largest antique collections of furniture, tapestries and art in the world. The museum also includes an online exhibit that allows visitors to see actual photographs of selected antique, American furniture pieces.
In addition to the above, the museum also houses a fine collection of American-related folk art which is displayed in the Folk Art Gallery located in the Courtyard Gallery on the second floor. This collection exhibits American-themed decorative arts and furniture inspired by American Indian, rural, women and ethnic art styles. The featured item in the gallery is American Indian jewelry influenced by the American Indian lifestyle. It contains a number of well-designed and handcrafted American Indian jewelry featuring unique decorative items made from beadwork, leather, wood and feathers. American Furniture and decorative arts also include a fine collection of American-inspired woodworking products and art such as American Cottage Decor inspired furnishings and American Craftsman Furniture.
