| | period furniture | Explanation:
The "in stile" bit refers to the style of a given period.
The term "period furniture" is used in this sense.
For example:
From the mid 1600s to the mid 1800s a timeline of American Period Furniture was created. It began with Jacobean style, followed by William and Mary, then Queen Anne, Chippendale, Federal, and Empire styles. Each of these styles has within it unique characteristics created by craftsmen in various parts of the country. As has the United States, these furniture styles have endured more than 200 years, and continue to be the standard against which all other furniture is judged.
The formality and historical significance of this furniture is evidenced by the collection at the United States Department of State in Washington, D.C. The Diplomatic Reception Rooms of the State Department have been reconstructed to represent America's rich heritage and contain important examples of period furniture. These rooms are decorated by the enduring grace of 200 year old American furniture representing a very important part of our heritage.
No matter how hard a mass production furniture factory tries to emulate these great creations, the exceptional craftsmanship and designs cannot be replicated in a production environment. This original furniture was built in small shops, and in many cases by one individual, so today's small custom furniture shops are uniquely qualified to recreate the characteristics imparted by 18th century masters.
FYI, according to Webster's under "period" as a adj.: "of or like that of an earlier period or age [as in period furniture].
