The Folklore of Furniture: Beds, Tables and Chairs

Fabulous Folklore with Icy

Furniture tells us a lot about a period, people, or place. It's solid, so it can often be the only tangible artefact left. It often bears the impression of human activity through use, and they tell stories.

Items of furniture also carry their own traditions through the ways in which we use the things that we inherit. Quilts, that cosiest of furnishings, carry so much energy from one generation to the next.

But what about the folklore of furniture? Individual items of furniture, such as beds, chairs, and tables, also carry their own superstitions and rites. Let's explore them in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
