Wooden furniture is moving away from the 18th century's high-sheen, shiny-brass style to more diversified looks. Even 18th-century cherry is more casual, with lower-sheen finishes, simpler, cleaner hardware and some degree of distressing. According to Howard Ward, vice president of sales and marketing for Pennsylvania House, the company is focusing on casual-lifestyle furniture. Meanwhile, specific high-growth categories in solid-wood bedroom include Louis Philippe, British Empire and Mission. The backbone of most bedroom items is still 18th century.
