Five styles of European furniture

Roman style, 11-13th century. This is an era dominated by pillar structures. It pays attention to the revelation from the top of the church's circular bow. The artistic techniques such as engraving and inlaying are in a secondary position, with large materials and simple lines.

Gothic style, 14th century. The new furniture, crafted with gorgeous enamel flowers, is popular in France, with spires, arches and vertical lines, towering, light, rich and refined.

Renaissance, 15-16th century. The furniture of this period has become a product of antique art, and it is definitely a flower in the greenhouse. However, the art of painting in this period had a great influence on furniture. The furniture craftsmen began to pay attention to the patterns and colors of wood finishing materials, and began to use natural colored wood to stitch beautiful images. People evaluate the Renaissance furniture works in this way: balanced, implicit, modest, and rational and logical. What is important is that the furniture of this period did not form its own style, which was gradually submerged in the long river of history.

Baroque style, 17-18th century. The word Baroque is Portuguese, meaning a deformed pearl with untidy, distorted, grotesque meaning, and the style was first created in Italy. The furniture products of this period were magnificent, vivid, enthusiastic and unrestrained. In the technique, a large number of techniques such as engraving, gold foil and gold were used. How serene and subtle it is compared to the previous period (the Renaissance), how dramatic and striking the Baroque style is. These two artistic styles are very different. Renaissance furniture expresses reason, while Baroque style furniture is about movement, movement, transformation and melody. More importantly, the design of the furniture is from Gothic simple mechanical simulation of architectural modeling to "humanity", and humanized design for the needs of life functions.

Rococo style, 18th century. British furniture designer Chippendale (1718-1779) combines Chinese elements such as towers and Suzhou garden technology with Western furniture making techniques. Chippendale is synonymous with Rococo furniture in the history of furniture. He is the founder of the Rococo style. The complex wave pattern mimics the shape of the shells and rocks, and is decorated with delicate carvings to pursue the sleek and gorgeous movement, giving a smooth movement.
