Style: Neo-Renaissance Revival

Stylistic revival, from the 1900s, of the forms typical of the Renaissance style.
This is a style that re-proposes, looking at the grandeur of the past, decorative motifs and decorations typical of the 1500s.
Mascheroni, cornices, columns carved with herms that make up typical architectural structures of Renaissance palaces, are the elements that characterize the Neo-Renaissance style.
These elements will remain in the production of furniture until the early 1900s, contaminating themselves with floral elements.
