Our earliest verbal documentation of furniture comes from the early states developed in Egypt and the Near East (including Hittite Anatolia in the second millennium BCE). However, furniture documented in records of transactions or inventories throughout its history is seldom descriptive. Except for the materials used, we mostly find simply the terms for different types of furniture. Uncertainties surround details in their form and means of construction. These problems notwithstanding, this chapter will focus on the terms used for furniture in written documents. A primary selection of such terms from Egypt and the Near East has been gathered in Table 9.1 with suggestions for further reading.
