Additional Information

Style: Directoire (1790-1804)

In this short period of time, we see, in the furniture, an accentuation of the archaeological rigor and at the same time an accentuated linear severity is formulated that in fact preludes and anticipates forms and ornamentations that will then be typical of the Empire style.

The furniture of the Directoire era abandons the delicate pastel colors that characterize the Louis XVI production in favor of the dark magnificence of mahogany, which in its vast range of essences will be by far the most appreciated wood in this period.

Added to this is a general abandonment of the floral inlay trends in favor of simple fillets in ebony or amaranth-colored wood, the insertion of light linear profiles in brass is very fashionable.

The innovations are grafted onto a trend that normally finds typologies already widespread in the neoclassical era, and in some cases there is no lack of significant innovations: the chairs, often painted in light colors and archaeological motifs, are distinguished by the typical upholstered or openwork backrest that rolls up "en crosse" and in an "S".

The back legs are very fashionable if curved like a sabre and the typology with an enveloping backrest, called gondola, becomes widespread.

For studies and libraries, chair models characterized by a high concave backrest, called "en hémicycle", with a usually solid structure and a seat covered in leather, become widespread.

The use of the secrétaire finds wide diffusion and the typology of the toilette is completely new, now similar to a console on which a tilting mirror rests within hinged plates.

Certainly the most imaginative novelty of this period is the graceful psyche, consisting of a large oval or rectangular mirror, mounted within high wooden supports and generally supported by sabre-shaped legs.

This is the era in which the oval or round dining table became widely used, while the desk continued to maintain the shape of the à bureau plats models already known in the previous era.

In this period there were no particular technical-constructive innovations, the technologies remained those already in use since the beginning of the mid-eighteenth century.
