This document summarizes typical furnishings found in Chinese American homes in the 1930s-1950s based on photographs from that era. Living rooms generally contained Chinese art, sofas, coffee tables, plants and radios or pianos. Dining rooms often had Chinese wall art, long wooden tables, chairs, lamps, bowls and vases. Furnishings became more modern over time, with framed art replacing scrolls and the addition of televisions, phones and carpets in later decades. Traditional wooden furniture remained prominent throughout.
