Fore in Dutch style

Style: In the Dutch Style

Dutch design seeks to accentuate shapes, colors and materials.
The novelty present in Holland, at that time, concerns the art of coating, mainly thanks to the expert carpenters who worked there and the great variety of woods used, which arrived in the country from the trips to the East of the Dutch West India Company.
The term "Dutch design" is closely related to a group of artists who have spread from the 90s to today.

Main 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.
