CLASSICISM
Classicism of the end of XVIII century is a
tribute of great century of furniture art to antique art forms. In France,
where
new style is called “the style of the Lui XVI”,
classicism was the last of the "Royal styles ".
Having appeared all over
again in
architecture, forms of classicism gradually got into
“applied” art,
including the furniture. Whimsically carved forms and dynamic ornament
of a
rococo begun "to calm down" in the middle of 18th
century. Lines have straightened; partitioning of surfaces become more
and more
simple and clear.
In search of inspiration for new furniture
forms, the masters of mature classicism looked up to the Ancient Greece
and Rome.
Clearness and a
harmony of proportions, quiet balance of parts now start to dominate
over forms
of furniture. The preference was normaly given to direct lines
and decorations reduced. The architectonic beginning was not
so
expressed
as for example in the Renaissance furniture and was lacking that unity
of
details in uniform weight which was characteristic for products of a
Rococo. In classic furniture the constructive principle was again
emphasized and this
purpose was also served with fabrics - which were obediently repeating
the
outlines of the furniture pieces.
Distinction between
an old and new
principle of furniture construction is easily found on comparison of a
design of
furniture legs. In difference from Baroque furniture the design of legs
carries more "plastic", instead of architectonic character. In classic
furniture the
leg is treated differently: function of basic designs as bearing
elements emphasized, round from top
to bottom or round or square columns in section with a capitella and
cannelure.
The
soft elements of chairs and armchairs were upholstered with fabrics
bearing a flower ornament; with oval or quadrangular back.
In furniture for sitting
the role of a carved element was still great. The rich upholstery,
gilding and strict forms are giving it solemn, cold look. In new
furniture bronze was pushed
aside and used on basic elements and frames, eaves profiled to resemble
the
antique forms. Sometimes, especially in more expensive products, in the
center
of a panel a small detail, made from gold plated bronze of the
quadrangular or
oval form was installed.
In an
ornament antique motives were beginning to prevail: meanders, strings
of pearl,
scallops, flower or laurel garlands, sockets and an acanthus leaf.
Color varnishes
(white and green) in a combination with simple gilding of separate
details were
also used.
One of
the major items of interior was a secretary with the cubic case raised
on high
legs. Lockers sometimes were built on shelves (commode -
étagère).
Little
tables-consoles, screens, hours, various supports were decorated with a
thin
groove, flower garlands and allegoric figures. Wooden parts of
furniture for sitting and
lying were processed by a groove of a low relief, gilding or a white
varnish.
Upholstery materials used - a Gobelin tapestry, silk fabrics with a
flower
ornament etc…
The
mahogany, going mainly on veneer of furniture pieces - was the most
often used. Mahogany panels
are inlaid with sets from various color, quite often exotic breeds of a
tree
(sateen, pink, etc.). Frames are often carried out by breeds of more
dark
shades (a thuja, black rosewood, ebony). An impression is made with the
items
painted by a white varnish and touched by gilding.
Widely
used were fauns, cupids that appear in a decor except for earlier
mentioned
forms, sphinxes, blockheads and mythological plots.
An interesting furniture form had developed for dining
rooms: strictly
symmetric sideboard grouped from three parts representing a combination
of
buffet and a dumbwaiter. Greater variety forms of furniture for sitting
appeared: both very easy chairs and armchairs with openwork,
upholstered backs of the oval, round or rectangular form;
armchairs and a canapés with the forms that descent directly
from antique
samples.
Most commonly used
motives of finishing of openwork backs were: three lancet arches
interlining with
each other; palm leaves which form a shape of a fan; the vertical rod
solved in the form
of a plume.
