Additional Information

Notes historical bibliographic

This piece of furniture, used as a linen chest of drawers, was made in about 1730, finding full confirmation with the shapes used in the Georgian period. It is a high quality piece of furniture, entirely veneered in walnut briar to create a refined pictorial effect. If the oak interiors are a feature that will also be found in subsequent eras, the use of walnut in English furniture is a peculiarity characteristic of the late seventeenth, first half of the eighteenth century, while from the second half of the century it will be increasingly replaced by mahogany, essence imported from the colonies, until its complete replacement in the nineteenth century.

Style: George II (1730-1760)

It is part of the so-called "Georgian" period.
This term designates the stylistic activity that took place in England between 1714 and 1830 and included the reigns of George I, George II, George III and George IV.
It is characterized, at its beginnings, by an attitude of reaction to the Baroque.
Precise characteristics and distinctions of this style are not clearly identifiable in the furniture created in England in the eighteenth century.
In the first half of this century, cabinetmaking and the products of the various categories of English applied art were affected by the continuous changes in taste and manifested, in the diversity of trends and influences, the uncertainty of a precise stylistic orientation.
The sensibility and exceptional ingenuity of four strong personalities, destined to guide the English taste and customs of the time, intervened in the second half of the eighteenth century to make well-defined choices: Th. Chippendale, R. Adam, G. Hepplewhite and Th. Sheraton.

Main essence:

Walnut

Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.

Oak

Under the name of oak or oak various types of woods derived from plants of the genus quercus are grouped. They are always resistant, hard and compact woods. Oak is lighter than oak, both are used for more rustic furniture or for the interiors of French and English antique furniture. In other processes it was gradually replaced by the advent of exotic woods considered more valuable since the 18th century.
