Abstract (en)

Presents several pieces of furniture of purportedly renaissance origins, distinguishing between largely original renaissance works, pieces with single original parts, and objects made after 1800 (often in the first decades of the 19th c.) in renaissance revival style. Concludes by defining the stylistic character of a group of neo-renaissance objects that can be linked to a single workshop, on the basis of their decorative carving, materials and technique.
