  • How to Paint Black Furniture-A Dozen Examples of Exceptional Black Painted Furniture
    How To Paint Black Furniture-A Dozen Examples Of Exceptional Black Painted Furniture frenchstyleauthority.com /archives/how-to-paint-black-furniture-a-dozen-examples-of-exceptional-black- painted-furniture Black furniture has been one of the most popular furniture paint colors in history, and a close second is white. Today, no other color comes close to these two basic colors which always seem to be a public favorite. No matter what the style is, black paint has been fashionable choice for French furniture,and also for primitive early American, regency and modern furniture. While the color of the furniture the same, the surrounds of these distinct styles are polar opposite requiring a different finish application. Early American furniture is often shown with distressing around the edges. Wear and tear is found surrounding the feet of the furniture, and commonly in the areas around the handles, and corners of the cabinets or commodes. It is common to see undertones of a different shade of paint. Red, burnt orange are common colors seen under furniture pieces. Furniture made from different woods, are often painted a color similar to wood color to disguise the fact that it was made from various woods. Paint during this time was quite thin, making it easily naturally distressed over time. – Black-painted Queen Anne Tilt-top Birdcage Tea Table $3,000 Connecticut, early 18th century, early surface of black paint over earlier red Joseph Spinale Furniture is one of the best examples to look at for painting ideas for early American furniture. This primitive farmhouse kitchen cupboard is heavily distressed with black paint.

M. ATKINSON ILLUSTRATED. NEW YORK FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY '^'/^^ , ? u4 eKJ\J\ Printed in Great Britain ' hi K- 5 b f'i> INTRODUCTION: SOME SETS OF FURNITURE UNDER m \/ LOUIS XIV The Louis XIV style is one that chance has en- dowed with a splendid name, Louis Ouatorze. Those sonorous, sumptuous syllables, as rich as the gold of the Gallery of Mirrors at Versailles, are they not in themselves completely expressive ? If the Louis XV style was to ex- press a whole society of voluptuous refinement, the Louis XIV style is verily the style of the King. It was to satisfy his taste, to express his mind, to titillate his pride and to proclaim his glory that Le Brun and Le Pautre devised their pompous decorations, that Perrault and Mansard marshalled their columns and raised their cupolas, that Le Nostre planted his alleys on lines meted out by stretched cords, that the Kellers founded bronze, that Domenico Cucci and Claude Ballin chased precious metals, that Andre-Charles Boulle cunningly wedded brass and tortoise shell with ebony in the Louvre, and at the Gobelins the lapidaries matched the stones of Florence, the cabinet-makers put together their ingenious cabinets, the silver- smiths made tables and pots for orange trees out of solid silver, the tapestry workers wove their enormous hangings stitch by stitch, while at vi INTRODUCTION Tourlaville the glass workers made mirrors larger and clearer than those of Venice, Whole volumes might be written on the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles without even a mention of the princes whose names they bear, but this would be quite impossible with the style we are about to discuss in this little book.

LTHOUGH many books have been published with a view of illustrating various phases of Art manufacture, I am not acquainted with an}' work which presents in a concise form the characteristic details of the different styles of domestic furniture. Feeling myself, the want of such an easily accessible hand-book, and believing that it will be equally useful to many others, both designers and manufacturers, I have endeavoured in the following series of sketches, in some measure to supply the deficiency. It is, of course, impossible in a work of moderate dimensions, to give more than a selection from each period. I have, therefore, only chosen those examples which I have thought to be typical or suggestive, and likely to be of practical value to designers, avoiding any which possess only an antiquarian interest.

  • READINGS: NEO-CLASSICISM Background: Neo-Classicism. Term Coined in the 1880S to Denote the Last Stage of the Classical Traditi
    READINGS: NEO-CLASSICISM Background: Neo-classicism. Term coined in the 1880s to denote the last stage of the Classical tradition in architecture, sculpture, painting and the decorative arts. Neo-classicism was the successor to Rococo in the second half of the 18th century and was itself superseded by various historicist styles in the first half of the 19th century. It formed an integral part of THE ENLIGHTENMENT in its radical questioning of received notions of human endeavour. It was also deeply involved with the emergence of new historical attitudes towards the past -- non-Classical as well as Classical -- that were stimulated by an unprecedented range of archaeological discoveries, extending from southern Italy and the eastern Mediterranean to Egypt and the Near East, during the second half of the 18th century. The new awareness of the plurality of historical styles prompted the search for consciously new and contemporary forms of expression. This concept of modernity set Neo-classicism apart from past revivals of antiquity, to which it was, nevertheless, closely related. Almost paradoxically, the quest for a timeless mode of expression (the 'true style', as it was then called) involved strongly divergent approaches towards design that were strikingly focused on the Greco- Roman debate. On the one hand, there was a commitment to a radical severity of expression, associated with the Platonic Ideal, as well as to such criteria as the functional and the primitive, which were particularly identified with early Greek art and architecture. On the other hand, there were highly innovative exercises in eclecticism, inspired by late Imperial Rome, as well as subsequent periods of stylistic experiment with Mannerism and the Italian Baroque.

Home is what frames your personal belongings, an identifier. Home is a still life painting in movement, a place for your curated cluster of special objects, artifacts and memories. Home is where order and chaos mingle flirtatiously, forming a domesticity of their own. Home is where sadness is as welcomed as happiness, where daily masks are set aside, emotions and sentiments at their most heightened and assuaged. Home is our confessional, our self-revelatory hiding place, our retreat. Home is a space for affection and reflection - it is where we stay in and where we gather.
