Wooden parts, from the simplest utensils to furniture, and the basic components of house construction, have been present since ancient times. It should be noted that almost any householder could provide the minimum number of parts needed in a household. The basic craftsmen in making the furniture were carpenters and joiners, who, in addition to work performed in their own household, were also employed in guilds, workshops and later in factories. Initially, the carpenters, who were involved in the construction of the houses, also made the necessary furniture. Starting with the 19th century, and in the peasant household with the end of the 19th century, the beginning of the 20th century, in addition to the carpenter's furniture the joiner's (city) furniture appears. This delimitation of craftsmen in the carpenters and joiners is based on the tools used, the joining techniques, as well as the characteristic ornamentation; however this division is a conventional one without precise borders. The domestic trades of Bessarabia played an important role in the industrial production from the end of the 19th century, mid-20th century. Factories appeared mainly on the basis of such small trades.
