Stile ‘800<br />

Una novità introdotta in periodo<br />

Restaurazione, di rilevante interesse anche in<br />

ragione dell'effettiva grande risonanza che<br />

seppe polarizzare, fu il recupero, per certi<br />

versi romantico, dello stile gotico.<br />

Il desiderio di medioevo originò il rifiorire di<br />

pinnacoli, volte archiacute, motivi a<br />

pergamena, rosoni e spirali.<br />

Si predilige una decorazione più minuta, più<br />

leggiadra e incline a un gusto che si potrebbe<br />

definire femmineo, con una graduale<br />

tendenza ad addolcire le forme, che in breve<br />

determina un riaffiorare di linee curve che<br />

culmina nel motivo “en tulip”.<br />

Nei sedili si diffonde lo schienale a gondola, i<br />

piedi cessano di essere ad artiglio in favore di<br />

soluzioni a mensola, a ciabatta o a rocchetti<br />

torniti; i braccioli sono a voluta o a doppia<br />

voluta, o ancora a collo di cigno.<br />

‘800 Style<br />

A novelty introduced during the Restoration<br />

period - of considerable interest also due to<br />

the great interest it succeeded in arousing -<br />

was the revival (to some extent in a romantic<br />

context) of the Gothic style.<br />

The yearning for the middle Ages gave rise to<br />

the flourishing of medieval pinnacles, pointed<br />

arched vaults, scroll-like motifs, rosettes and<br />

spirals.<br />

It favors decorations that are smaller, more<br />

comely and more inclined to a taste that<br />

could be referred to as “feminine”, with a<br />

gradual tendency to soften shapes, thus<br />

quickly leading to a resurgence of curvy lines<br />

that culminating in the “en tulip” theme.<br />

Seats are fashionably bedecked with the<br />

gondola-like backrest, feet styles shift from<br />

paws and claws to brackets, pediments or<br />

lathed reels, and armrests are scrolled,<br />

double-scrolled, or swan necked.
