Gothic tracery, fleurons and pointed arches also feature strongly in the cabinet architecture. Gothic inspired carved strapwork borders the piano edges and around the key escutcheon. The brasswork offers ornate embellishment. The candlesticks are held aloft by dragons with a circular sconce carved with foliage. The piano handles also feature ornate foliage and a simple brass ring. 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.
