MEDIEVAL STYLE

The Middle Ages in Europe followed the end of the Roman Empire, and in this time of change, which preceded the Renaissance, furniture was simple and utilitarian, with most homes having only the necessities like chests and benches. Much of medieval furniture, which was often made in oak or walnut, was built for the elite, particularly the emerging merchant class who owned multiple homes.

Life for many in the medieval era was unstable, and furniture was designed to be functional and portable. Peasants worked the fields for affluent landowners and didn’t have access to literature in the way that nobles and people of the church did (women less so than men). The furniture in their modest dwellings was typically limited to cookware and a handful of stools. Foldable chairs, while uncommon in homes of the early Middle Ages and emblematic of wealth, like all other furnishings of the time, allowed for easy transportation of a household. Trestle tables with detachable legs and collapsible beds were designed to be simply moved from place to place.

Medieval blanket chests were among the most important furniture objects and could further serve as tables or even beds. Some ancient traditions were carried forward to build this sturdy furniture, such as turnery. Although the furniture was minimally designed, embellishments like carvings added elegance to the heavy wood pieces. These details sometimes reflected trends in religious art like rose windows.

By the later Middle Ages, storage pieces like chests of drawers were often adorned with high relief carvings, such as geometric and floral motifs. By the 14th and 15th centuries, design had developed to include more involved pieces like cupboards and desks, while benches frequently doubled as chests with hinged seats. Beds also changed in this era from basic boards to four-post designs with large drapes to keep the sleeper warm. These beds and other medieval bedroom furniture were significant status symbols, passed down through families and used as places to conduct business and receive visitors.

Surviving examples of medieval furniture are very rare, yet its distinctive aesthetics influenced later styles like William and Mary and Arts and Crafts.

Rare Monumental French Gothic All-Wrought Iron Double Castle Door
Rare Monumental French Gothic All-Wrought Iron Double Castle Door

Rare Monumental French Gothic All-Wrought Iron Double Castle Door

Located in Doha, QA

Among the rarest survivals of medieval architectural ironwork, this monumental pair of Gothic castle doors (one door-two wings) represents an extraordinary achievement in the art of the medieval blacksmith. Entirely hand forged from wrought iron and assembled with individually forged rivets, the doors embody the engineering skill, defensive requirements, and uncompromising craftsmanship of late medieval France. Unlike the overwhelming majority of surviving castle doors- which rely on heavy oak cores reinforced with iron straps- these remarkable examples are constructed almost entirely of wrought iron plates, braces, and structural members. Such an approach demanded immense quantities of iron, exceptional technical expertise, and hundreds of hours of skilled labor, making doors of this type exceptionally costly to produce and reserved only for the most important fortified spaces. Their bold Gothic silhouette, terminating in a pointed arch, corresponds to the original medieval stone opening from which they originate. Massive diagonal reinforcing members, broad riveted iron plates, forged hinge assemblies, and individually hand-worked rivets form a powerful architectural composition that is as sculptural as it is functional. Every surface tells the story of more than five centuries of existence. The wrought iron retains its rich historic patina, displaying centuries of oxidation, forge textures, hammer marks, laminated iron surfaces, and evidence of traditional forge-welding techniques. The irregular rivet heads, overlapping iron plates, and subtle variations in thickness reveal unmistakable hand craftsmanship impossible to reproduce through modern industrial methods. Architecturally, these doors were almost certainly created for one of the most secure areas of a medieval fortress or château. Their all-iron construction suggests installation within a treasury, armoury, prison, fortified vault, strong room, or other location where maximum security and resistance to fire were essential. Such commissions were reserved for castles of considerable importance and required the work of master blacksmiths operating at the highest level of their craft. Stylistically and technically, the doors date most convincingly to the late 15th to early 16th century (circa 1480–1530). However, the conservative nature of medieval architectural ironwork, together with the Gothic form and traditional forging methods, leaves open the possibility that portions of the construction- or the original commission itself- may extend into the 14th century, making these doors potentially even earlier than their generally accepted dating. Authentic medieval all-wrought-iron castle doors...

Antique Gothic Fire Screen w. Handpainted Earth Angle, Saints and Carved Knights
Antique Gothic Fire Screen w. Handpainted Earth Angle, Saints and Carved Knights

Antique Gothic Fire Screen w. Handpainted Earth Angle, Saints and Carved Knights

Located in Lisse, NL

Stunning firescreen with a famous earth angle, two famous saint paintings and more. With meaningful 'religious art' from centuries-past being one of our specialities we were amazed, not only to find this rare and marvelous fire screen, but also because of its excellent condition. But then again, we think we see that more often, because true beauty, quality and meaningful antiques radiate something that was already there when it was created. This 'something' commands respect and this is why most people take very good care of very special pieces. Since much of what we know now about Christianity and about monastic life in its various 'forms' was given shape since the life of Christ, but possibly mostly so in Gothic / Medieval times, much of this is expressed in European Gothic Art of the past circa 8 centuries. This rare and beautiful fire screen from the early 1800s, which can also be used as a small room divider or a unique work of (decorative) art, is one of those unique Gothic antiques. The hand-carved knight sculptures are 'fun' and meaningful at the same time, because one of them looks a little desperate and the other looks more at piece and in prayer. The hand-carved winged angel in the middle/ on top seems to be overlooking this 'Gesamtkunstwerk'. What makes this antique really stand out and what also makes it complete are the three hand-painted panels inside this screen. Each of the figures portrayed here have dedicated their lifes to doing good, giving love and hope and thus healing people. In the centre is a glorious painting (in medieval style) of Earth Angel St. Raphael and the boy Tobias. The lady Saint on the right, we feel, is Elizabeth of Hungary (1207-1231) and the Saint on the left, we feel, is either Francis de Sales...
