Additional Information
Style: Neo-Baroque (1860-1890)
Anticipated in England in the first half of the 19th century on the reminiscences of the Elizabethan style, it came back into fashion around 1870, but interpreted in a very free way.It initially represents a response to the frivolity of neo-Rococo, but soon lapses into a pompous and eclectic style that combines severe sixteenth-century elements with sculptural decorations from the early 17th century.
The furniture is solid, richly carved and carved, in dark patina wood.
Garnets, frames, columns carved with herms that make up architectural structures typical of Renaissance palaces, are the elements that characterize the neo-Renaissance style.
It was an era in which we saw the revival and re-proposal of ancient forms with a typically Renaissance taste, large carvings were used for a more complete, deeper and three-dimensional vision, the use of animal paws in chests and wardrobes, squares and moldings, frames, bossages and claws, Romanesque ornamental motifs but also acanthus leaves, cartouches and lion heads.
Often in this period, furniture was built using ancient materials and parts of Renaissance furniture.
Walnut was often used but also less hard essences such as poplar or others since they were often darkened and presented in black.

19th Century / 1801 - 1900Main essence: Mahogany
It is one of the most precious and sought-after woods in cabinet making. It was discovered in Central America around 1600 and began to be imported to England in the 1700s. Much appreciated for its hardness and indestructibility, it became widespread following the blocking of walnut exports from France in 1720 and the consequent elimination of English import duties on mahogany from the colonies in America and India. The most valuable version comes from Cuba, but it became very expensive. At the end of the 18th century it began to be used also in France in Louis XVI, Directory and Empire furniture, its diffusion declined starting from when Napoleon, in 1810, forbade its import. It was generally used in the manufacture of elegant furniture, due to its characteristics and beautiful grain.Other customers have searched:
