History:
Fernandino style is called the one developed in the decorative arts - especially furniture - in Spain during the reign of Fernando VII (1814-1833). It happened in the Empire style and preceded the Elizabethan style.
The Fernandino style or Fernando VII style was equivalent to the French Restoration style and the English Regency style . It occurred especially in furniture, characterized by its practicality and a somewhat heavy air, with a predominance of rectangular shapes and the use of smooth veneers and gilt wood applications.
The greatest influence of the Fernandino style came from the French Directory and Empire styles, with respect to which it presents few differences and almost no entity of its own. It is characterized by its heaviness and lack of grace and, compared to its French references, it presents a greater roughness of lines and ornamentation, as well as less elegance.
Fernandino furniture has neoclassical roots, inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity. It has a solemn and somewhat ostentatious appearance, with ornamental motifs such as laurel wreaths , garlands and lyres. Another source of inspiration, like the French Empire style, is Egyptian art - due to Napoleon's Egyptian campaign - especially in the use of sphinxes. The chairs have so-called "saber" legs, and the beds are of the so-called "gondola" type. The most commonly used wood was mahogany , sometimes with bronze trim.
Towards the end of the period there is a certain Gothic influence coming from fashionable romanticism . Some of the best examples of Fernandino furniture can be found in the Oriente and El Pardo palaces in Madrid.
