What kind/style of bedroom furniture has a "fan" design on it?
Hi, I don't know if this is a stupid question, but you know how there are various styles of furniture? Like contemporary, traditional, transitional, and even more specific categories like shaker or mission style, etc...? Well, what term is used to describe that traditional style furniture with a fan design etched into the wood (like on bedroom dressers, chests, etc..)? I saw it once online and the store used a term (like shaker, missionary, but not those) to describe it and I completely forgot. I thought maybe someone who knows a lot about furniture styles would know. I'm pretty sure there is an actual name, like how houses are Victorian or Colonial or modern, etc... Okay, sorry for the overuse of the words style and etc... Lol. Thanks in advance. Have a great day. :) Okay, I've found out some terms but I'm still confused. If a furniture is made of mahogany, has a broken arch pediment top, a fan design, and ogee feet, what is it? I don't know if it's Chippendale, Queen Anne, Colonial, Early American, 18th century, or what. Anyone know? Thanks.

- Hard to answer. The latest style may be art deco. Early american woodworkers carved many different things into their furniture, among them were fans.
