What this means furniture wise is, joiners by the late 17th-early 18th century had lost their place as the dominate furniture makers for centuries and cabinetmakers took on that role on the mainland. </p><p>This was delayed for decades on the eastern shore because of their isolation from the mainland. Joiners continued on there in their furniture making oblivious to cabinet shops which had become dominate on the mainland. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Joiners on the eastern shore, in addition to their regular joinery like doors, windows, stairs, etc did a lot of built on site furniture made from hard yellow pine and often painted.</p><p>The most famous of these pieces are probably these Va eastern shore 1 piece corner cupboards, built by joiners which are highly sought after &amp; sell for big bucks, even if stripped of their paint decoration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joiner made cupboards on the eastern shore Va, mid 18th century</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]340728[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Stripped of it&#039;s paint decoration</p><p>[ATTACH=full]340729[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
