I sold Zeniths from 63 to 71. Italian provincial was very popular. It would blend in with many styles of dark furniture. Back in those “good old days” most sofas had legs about 6” long that were mostly plain and dark. Along with Early American. Then French provincial. If people had Maple furniture the only tv that would fit was the Early American. The Danish modern was just getting started and along came the Mediterranean. I’ve noticed a resurgence in French in recent furniture ad’s. It’s just more massive than it was in the 60’s. I have a Mediterranean bedroom set in solid oak from around 1963 and it was neither as massive nor loaded up with all the carvings that later adorned Mediterranean or Spanish-America. On my last trip to Mexico I saw they were still selling massive Spanish-America furniture with lots of carving.
