1901 The Linen Press and the Chest of Drawers
In the days before the invention of the heated iron for smoothing out sheets and clothing, a similar effect was achieved by placing items between boards and pressing the boards together. The equipment used was known as a linen press which, by the 18th Century, had evolved into a kind of wardrobe with drawers in the bottom half, similar to a chest of drawers, and a cupboard for the top half.
Perhaps the last people to use the linen press principle were sailors of the Royal Navy, who used to put seven folds into their bellbottom trousers and then press them by placing them under their mattress overnight.
0101 Oak Furniture - for strength, good luck and good health...
Many followers of pre-Christian religions believe that all living things, including trees, have spiritual powers or influences. These influences are retained by the wood when it is made into furniture so, for example,
oak furniture is said to bring strength, good luck, health and protection. Furniture made of pine brings wealth and healing. Cedar offers purification, Cherry for love and Redwood for long life.
