Archaeological research shows that from around 30,000 years back, people commenced carving and constructing their own furniture, using wood, stone, and animal bone fragments. Early furniture from this period is well known from artwork like a Venus figurine within Russia, depicting the goddess on a throne. The first surviving extant furniture is in the homes of Skara Brae in Scotland, and includes cupboards, dressers and mattresses all constructed from natural stone.

The seventeenth century, in both Southern and Northern Europe, was seen as a opulent, often gilded Baroque designs. The nineteenth century is usually defined by revival styles.
