Renaissance Style
Stylistically, the Renaissance is followed the Gothic style and both style periods are reflected within this piece. Renaissance furniture was influenced by the Classical World. The pieces had a strong architectural sense. Decoration consisted mostly of carved details created on the surface of the wood. The designs often had some architectural elements from the Classical World like columns, pediments, and cornices. Ornament was also inspired in mythological and historical themes. Some of the common motifs are strapwork, foliage, garlands, cornucopia and arabesques, and an Islamic form of decoration consisting of interlaced stylized leaves and flowers.
Gothic Style
Monumental Gothic cathedrals emerged as the embodiment of divine grandeur. Pointed arches, tracery and ornate decoration are typical of the style. Highly intricate surfaces, with a variety of patterns and mouldings depicting flowers, trefoils, pointed arches and spirals are represented.
