Beginning History of Italian Furniture

Most of the earliest known pieces of Italian furniture were Roman adaptations of Greek designs. Bronze and wood furniture of the first century was found in the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Further evidence of early Italian furniture is found in paintings and carvings. Furniture frames were made of bronze or wood and accented with precious metals, tortoiseshell, and ivory details. The Romans developed a type of folding stool that was used by common folk and Roman officials alike. Round tables with curved legs shaped like animals were popular across the empire. Images of tables like this were found on tombstones depicting funerals. Many tables were made of citrus wood with shale or marble tops.

During the 4th and 5th centuries, the Roman Empire fell. After this time, furniture was generally utilitarian in nature. Evidence of these pieces is primarily found in manuscripts, sculptures, and paintings. Plain tables and stools were typically used in kitchens, and storage cabinets had plain paneled doors. It is thought that turnery influenced the craftsmen of this period. Turnery is a method of using a lathe to shape pieces of furniture frames.

Historically, the only resource in Italy has only been its strategic location. Its longish shape, in the midst of the Mediterranean, has been a refuge and a target for many invaders and colonizers and merchants, who established routes all over its surface. But there were no natural resources to draw upon – no expenses of lumber such as in Central Europe. No easy access to iron and precious metals. The resources were tiny, local, and difficult to extract. So, in the end, Italy became a skilled transformer of materials, from the ancient times onwards.

Materials were bought and transported back to Italy where an army of skilled craftsmen transformed them into objects of mastery and beauty.

As the resources were scarce, Italian craftsmen have always worked on how to get the most out of them. And this is the matrix that originated the present-day Italian excellence. Exercising creativity and industriousness developed this sense of aesthetics that made – and makes – Italians among the top manufacturers of high level and luxury goods. Because quality comes from the use of the best materials, together with the best workmanship and the best design. This is why quality is uncompromising.
