Additional Information

Style: Renaissance (1460-1630)

During the Renaissance, furniture took on architectural forms, perfect proportions, and was adorned with rationally arranged decorations, taken from Greco-Roman iconography.

Supports and feet carved in the shape of an acanthus leaf or a lion's paw appeared at least from the early 1460s.

Alongside parallelepiped chests, others appeared in the shape of a classical sarcophagus, with surfaces marked by ornamental metrics rigidly disciplined within pilasters and frames.

The novelty of the sculptural carving decoration derived from archaeological remains triumphs, decoded and reworked stylistic elements in different compositional harmonies arranged in alternating games of dentils, ovules, volutes, acanthus-shaped spirals, loricature, strigliature, grotesque candelabras, and the entire pantheon of pagan mythology comes to life again, in particular to decorate chests, which from their initial function as containers for the wedding dowry take over the new instance of real parade furniture.

It is worth remembering that the displayed furniture was generally richly embellished with gold leaf gilding.

In the first decades of the sixteenth century the use of Certosina inlay definitively faded away, although even in the Renaissance this technique had great fame, just think of the activity of the Tasso workshop in Florence.
