from the ornately carved Victorian items. It was made in dark and heavy
oak, and was simple in design. Straight lines and rectangles were the
main shapes which were usually seen in the mission furniture. According
to the past stories, a congregation at a church in San Francisco needed
furniture but they didn't have enough money to buy it. So they used
their carpentry skills to make pieces of furniture & took idea from
the designs of the furniture that had been created by American Indians
for the mission stations in Mexico. This is the history of mission
furniture & its name.
