When you look at the inside of a clock you can see that each gear is like a different design period… even though each has its own place, all fitted into one space, they are continuously working together in some ways and fighting against in others.
A clock is an instrument for measuring + recording time.
As we look back at design histories we begin to notice that time is what defines us…defines ways of life.
The Queen Anne Style: was a design style established before the revolution. This chair exhibits symmetry and free flowing curvilinear lines. It had a removable slip seat, which gave the option to change and clean the fabric if it was ruined by spills.
Chipping Dale (American Federal) Style: was a style designed after the revolution. This chair is much more refined, with straight lines, confined spaces and no feet. It has more padding however, the seat is not removable. It almost looks as if the chair is leaping off of the floor.
