Abstract:

Researchers at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina conducted a survey of upholstery practices in South Carolina during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The inventories of early householders tell us what people needed and used, and are an expression of personal taste during that time period.
