History of Italian Furniture:
Traditional Italian furniture has been celebrated and cherished for thousands upon thousands of years. Italian furniture design is well-loved for its mixture of craftsmanship and style. The 1700 and 1800s is when Italian furniture broke from the rest of Europe. Other countries were entering their own decadent periods. The French were just beginning the Rococo stage. Italian artisans were simplifying, however, while everyone else got fancier. Italian furniture makers traded in elaborate scrolling for simpler geometric shapes during this era. Vibrant colours were replaced by more neutral palettes. This simplification wouldn’t last, though. The 19th Century brought a revival of Gothic and Rococo styles to Italian designers. The styles favoured during the Italian Renaissance made a comeback during the 1800s, as well.
