Additional Information

Style: Renaissance Revival

This style is associated with all furniture and objects which, due to their characteristics, recall the trends and style in vogue in the Renaissance.
During the Renaissance, some furniture in rich houses took on greater importance with the addition of elevations and canopies closed with sheets and fabrics.
In public and religious buildings the wooden benches, bookcases and choirs are more impressive and decorated.
This style develops initially in Italy, where the artists are inspired by classical sources; only later will the new culture expand into Europe.
Subsequently this trend will be present in the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily, in Spain, in Flanders, in Germany and England.

Main essence:

Silver Fir

Soft coniferous wood, used for rustic furniture or to build the chest, that is the structure, of furniture then veneered in more precious woods. It has been used since ancient times, its most valuable use is, in the Spruce variant, in the inlays of French antique furniture of the '700 . The spruce, more typical of northern Europe, in Italy grows mainly in the Eastern Alps at altitudes above 1300 m. The noblest use of this essence was in the construction of violins, guitars and cellos: Stradivari himself produced his famous violins with this wood.

Walnut

Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.
