Domanda

Dear Silvia,
 
I'm sorry but my Italian is a bit bad.
Can you tell me what kind of stile is the chair as shown on the foto. Is it Italian? How old ?
 
Thank you for your kind reaction.

Risposta

Dear Rene',

your chair is very interesting. It reminds me the French or Italian "gothic revival" style. This style was born in England in mid- 18th. And it inspired all the architecture and furniture style at the end of the 19th Century, in Europe and north America. In particular in England, France and Italy, there was a revival of the decorations and subjects taken by the gothic cathedrals and the Renaissance furnitures. So I think that this chair, was made in this period, taking inspiration from the Italian and French decorations. However I don't think it was made in Italy.
Thanks for contacting me,

Silvia
