The art, architecture and furniture of Ontario’s Mennonite settlers reflected the deep convictions of these law-abiding, profoundly religious and pacifist people.<\/p>\n
Among the earliest settlers of Ontario’s Niagara and York County regions, Mennonites brought to Canada a long rural tradition of building, furniture making and folk art. These ideas inspired the houses and farms they built and the production of a great variety of furniture, and informed the emergence of a style rooted in Germany and Pennsylvania, but clearly modified by the Ontario experience.<\/p>\n
Mennonite Furniture is a well-illustrated examination of an unmistakable nineteenth century Ontario style of domestic construction and ornament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5695,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[530,531],"product_tag":[1583,2383,2384,2385,2386,2387,2388,2389,2351],"class_list":["post-2435","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-crafts-hobbies-woodwork","product_cat-religion-christianity-mennonite","product_tag-art","product_tag-craft","product_tag-folk-art","product_tag-furniture","product_tag-german-style","product_tag-illustrated","product_tag-mennonite","product_tag-ontario-history","product_tag-settlers","pa_contributor-lynda-musson-nykor","pa_contributor-martha-kuehner","pa_contributor-patricia-musson","pa_subjects-art-and-architecture","pa_subjects-art-and-architecture-artists-and-artisans","pa_subjects-art-and-architecture-crafts","pa_subjects-local-interest","pa_subjects-local-interest-ontario","pa_subjects-local-interest-ontario-toronto","desktop-align-left","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal","ast-product-gallery-with-no-image","ast-magnify-disabled","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-external"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2435"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2435"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
