Abstract
Exploration of the boundaries between 'polite' and 'vernacular', now topical among architectural historians, engages other disciplines too. This paper indicates that the majority of Scotland's common furniture in the eighteenth century was not completely distinguishable from its fashionable counterparts and suggests that both should be considered as part of a cultural continuum rather than seen in binary terms as fundamental opposites.
