Gothic Revival The Gothic revival adapted the architectural elements of medieval architecture to furniture and decorative arts. Gothic furniture had local particularities, one being the wood used in its construction. In England, Germany and the Low countries, it was mainly oak, in France, chestnut and in Italy and Spain walnut. Folk Art Folk Art draws from many cultures. Decoration may have symbolic significance or a magical or spiritual function. Surface embellishment is divided into numerous small, visually separate units of decoration with a vocabulary of stylised plant forms such as sunflowers or tulips emanating from vessels, contrasting rows of rosettes alternating with lozenges. Central motifs of a tree of life with curved branches displaying blossom, tulips, leaf motifs, pinwheels, hearts, paired birds, lilies and stars also figure.
