19th Century / 1801 - 1900 Main essence:
Birch
Whitish, compact and resistant wood, derived from Birch alba , which grows in the cold areas of Europe and Asia. Widely used in the 1700s for the production of seat shafts and furniture legs, it came back to the fore in the 1900s in the construction of Scandinavian furniture, following the enhancement of its properties by Alvar Aalto.
Pine
The term pine wood indicates the essence from various species of conifers, especially Scots pine, maritime pine and pinea pine. Used since ancient times for the most common furniture, with the advent of the veneer technique, in the 1600s, it was widely used in the construction of the structure of even luxury furniture, which were then covered, decorated (in Venice) or gilded ( in England). It has a color that varies from white to yellow with reddish hues and can be both very soft and very hard. Material:
