Additional Information
Style: Renaissance Revival
This style is associated with all furniture and objects which, due to their characteristics, recall the trends and style in vogue in the Renaissance.During the Renaissance, some furniture in rich houses took on greater importance with the addition of elevations and canopies closed with sheets and fabrics.
In public and religious buildings the wooden benches, bookcases and choirs are more impressive and decorated.
This style develops initially in Italy, where the artists are inspired by classical sources; only later will the new culture expand into Europe.
Subsequently this trend will be present in the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily, in Spain, in Flanders, in Germany and England.
