Historical Styles I & II: Images in JStor (Artstor)

Helpful search terms:

• search furniture by historical time period (like Louis XV)
• search furniture by style (like Regency)
• search by furniture type or feature (like chair, inlay, parquet, etc.).  Remember there may be multiple terms for a furniture piece--for instance to find the image below I searched writing desk, roll-top desk, secretary, secretaire, and bureau and search results were quite different with each search.
