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: Beech

It is a semi-hard wood which, unfortunately, is easily wormed, therefore it is considered poor. Due to its light but variegated shades, from blond to reddish, it was nevertheless appreciated by French cabinetmakers. It was mainly used for furniture structures or, as an alternative to walnut, by provincial English furniture makers for popular works, mostly in the 1700s. The noblest use is due to Thonèt, who applied the steam bending of the beech in the making of the furniture, in particular for the chairs that took his name.
