HIGH QUALITY REPRODUCTION PERIOD FURNITURE made in Italy
Our current furniture made in Italycollections comprise quality reproductions of English, French, Dutch and Italian period furniture, all crafted in Italy. Favourites among our French style pieces include reproductions of Louis XV, Louis XVI, Napoleon III furniture and of the work of Andre-Charles Boulle (a cabinet-maker of eighteenth century France, renowned for his marquetry work). Our Italian reproductions are mainly of LOUIS XVI furniture and pieces in the style of Maggiolini (another eighteenth century cabinet maker famous for his richly detailed marquetry)
BOISERIES
Wood panelling was originally used to lend warmth to the cold and austere walls of castles and medieval palaces.
In the great houses of the late Middle Ages, rooms were often decorated with ornate and intricately carved wood panelling which became known as “boiserie”. In certain rooms – for example great halls, long galleries and libraries – the walls and even the ceiling were entirely panelled in wood to create a warm and cosy atmosphere.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, wooden panelling was widely used in France for the interior decoration of houses and numerous examples of boiseries are to be found in the Palace of Versailles itself. The panels were often used to decorate not only the walls but also doors, partition walls and booths.
In eighteenth century Britain, panelling that reflected the mix of comfort and good taste so typical of the Georgian era replaced the frivolity, the friezes and the decorative exuberance of contemporary French taste prevalent throughout Europe. The collective imagination in fact refers to the great libraries and reading rooms of private English clubs, decorated with mahogany panelling with dark and bright grain.
Strictly speaking the term “boiserie” relates to wood panelling on the perimeter walls of a room but there is much more than that to it. A boiserie also reflects the design skills and craftmanship of the master cabinet maker, allowing the creation of a 'unique' piece of decoration.
