Renaissance Furniture

RENAISSANCE STYLE

Spanning an era of cultural rebirth in Europe that harkened back to antiquity, the Renaissance was a time of change in design. From the late 1400s to the early 1600s, Rome, Venice and Florence emerged as artistic centers through the expansion of global trade and a humanist belief in the arts being central to society. Antique Renaissance furniture was ornately carved from sturdy woods like walnut, its details standing out against the tapestries and stained glass adorning the walls.

Renaissance chests, which were frequently commissioned for marriages, were often decorated with gilding or painted elements. Those that were known as cassoni were crafted in shapes based on classical sarcophagi. As opposed to the medieval era, when furniture was pared down to the necessities, a wide range of Renaissance chairs, tables and cabinets were created for the home, and the designs regularly referenced ancient Rome.

Large torchères of the Renaissance era that were used as floor lamps were inspired by classical candelabras, while marble surfaces evoked frescoes. The inlaid boxes being imported from the Middle East informed the intarsia technique, which involved varying hues of wood in mosaic-like patterns, such as those by architect Giuliano da Maiano in the Florence Cathedral.

Tapestry-woven cushion covers accented the variety of Renaissance seating — from conversation to study chairs — while bookcases for secular use reflected the migration of culture and knowledge from the church into the home. The aesthetics of the Italian Renaissance later spread to France through the publishing of work by renowned designers, including Hugues Sambin and Jacques Androuet du Cerceau. Centuries later, the 19th-century Renaissance Revival would see a return to this influential style.

Wooden casket with polychrome and gilded "pastiglia" relief decor, Italy 15th c.

Located in Gorssel, GE

A rare wooden casket with polychrome and gilded pastiglia relief, Italy, 15th century. The box is adorned with four finely executed scenes from the life of an unknown martyr — beautifully preserved and remarkably vivid after centuries. Dimensions: 15.5 × 10.4 × 9 cm Provenance: Dutch private collection In overall good condition for its age, with minor losses to the surface and possible retouching to the polychromy. The ball feet are likely later additions. Pastiglia [paˈstiʎʎa], an Italian term meaning "pastework", is low relief decoration, normally modelled in gesso or white lead, applied to build up a surface that may then be gilded or painted, or left plain. The technique was used in a variety of ways in Italy during the Renaissance. White lead pastiglia was a north Italian speciality, produced between about 1450 and 1550. Six workshops were identified by Patrick M. De Winter, although their location remains uncertain; the Workshop of the Love and Moral Themes, whose products seem the most numerous, was possibly at Ferrara, where the painter Cosimo Tura began his career gilding caskets. Venice is also thought to have produced them. Other workshops identified by De Winter include the "Workshop of the main Berlin casket" and "Workshop of the Cleveland Casket". The subjects were typically classical, drawn from both mythology and Ancient Roman history (especially the early period covered by Livy), but biblical ones are also found. Compositions can often be shown to be borrowed from another medium, such as prints or bronze plaquettes...

Flemish Aubusson Tapestry, circa 1850
Flemish Aubusson Tapestry, circa 1850

Flemish Aubusson Tapestry, circa 1850

Located in Berlin, DE

This charming mid-19th-century Flemish tapestry, woven in the celebrated Aubusson manner, captures a romantic pastoral scene rendered in exquisitely balanced colours. At its centre, a young couple engages in gentle conversation amid an idyllic landscape, framed by lush foliage, classical ruins and a sculptural urn that subtly evokes the artistic refinement of the period. The weaver’s mastery is evident in the delicate modelling of the figures, the soft transitions of colour in the sky and hills, and the richly detailed floral accents that enliven the entire composition. The palette is particularly striking: soft blues and sage greens merge gracefully with warm ochres, coral reds and dusty rose tones, creating a harmony that both soothes and captivates the viewer. The tapestry’s border, entwined with flowing ribbons and blossoms, adds a further sense of elegance and frames the narrative with graceful rhythm. Time has imparted its own history to the piece. The upper area shows visible damage, a testament to its age and authenticity, yet the tapestry as a whole retains its enchanting presence and remarkable decorative power. Its colours remain vibrant, and the scene continues to radiate the charm and poetic idealism so characteristic of 19th-century tapestry art. Displayed on a wall or incorporated into an interior of classical taste, this Flemish Aubusson tapestry...
