Additional Information

Style: Louis Philippe (1830-1848)

The Louis Philippe style developed in a context characterized by two main factors: the expansion of the bourgeoisie and the advent of the industrialization of production processes.


This style therefore faces the decline of artisans and the new needs for economy and comfort.


Aesthetically, it takes elements from the past, especially from the Gothic and Renaissance, preferring very curved shapes for the backrests of the seats, roe deer legs and feet, with a very rich decoration.


It mainly uses dark woods: ebony, rosewood and mahogany, combined for contrast with light elements.

19th Century / 1801 - 1900

Main essence: Mahogany

It is one of the most precious and sought-after woods in cabinet making. It was discovered in Central America around 1600 and began to be imported to England in the 1700s. Much appreciated for its hardness and indestructibility, it became widespread following the blocking of walnut exports from France in 1720 and the consequent elimination of English import duties on mahogany from the colonies in America and India. The most valuable version comes from Cuba, but it became very expensive. At the end of the 18th century it began to be used also in France in Louis XVI, Directory and Empire furniture, its diffusion declined starting from when Napoleon, in 1810, forbade its import. It was generally used in the manufacture of elegant furniture, due to its characteristics and beautiful grain.
