Additional Information

Style: Eclecticism (1870-1890)

Towards the end of the 19th century, the taste for combining elements taken from various styles of the past asserted itself. The eclectic style is therefore characterized by the mixture of stylistic elements from the Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and Neoclassicism in search of elegant compositional virtuosity.

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.
