The classic cupboards as direct descendants of the great trunks of the past

The classic cupboards are the direct descendants of the ancient trunks, of artistically decorated handicrafts that made history among the most beautiful and precious antique furnishing. After life has become more stable, even the trunks have adapted to the new situation and new requirements: no longer having to be transported, the dimensions have become more important, the structure began to rest on feet and accessories were added, such as large mirrors. So here is born the classic sideboards, which reflects the ancient trunks which function is not only contain everyday objects such as the cutlery- but also demonstrate the richness of the work.
Large wooden surfaces that characterize the classic cupboards, whether spacious shelves, different doors or hips, in fact enable master craftsmen to create luxurious carvings and inlays that rise to the rank of major protagonists of classic interiors.

Classic cupboards: thus become the protagonists of a furniture

Not for nothing but because of their size, the classic cupboards are therefore among the elements that vie for the scene within living rooms and dining rooms, in this competing with the most impressive tables and large windows. To make it even more interesting classic cupboards can be decorated with a series of elements of classical style that recall the great styles of the past centuries.
But how are the classic cupboards born? How get married the rest of the furnishings of a room with the cupboards? Everything starts from the consideration of elements such as functional beauty: we study the proportions, which must be harmonious, the silhouette, which can be softer and more rounded or more rigorous and squared, than it is time to choose the best essences and draw the carvings and inlays that will enrich the surfaces. Once the model has been designed to the smallest detail, achieving a result that is at the same time majestic, pleasant and coordinated with other furniture elements, we proceed with the preparation of the various pieces that will make up the classic cupboards: experts carpenters will work the raw wood giving it a shape, while carvers will create their works in wood.
The classic cupboards are then mounted so that it may assess the impact from the truth: if the result will be perfect we can move to the polishing stage and the model will be ready to become a part of the most luxurious and exclusive collections of furniture in the world.

Classic cupboards: between carvings and inlays

Taking direct inspiration from the most beautiful examples that we can still admire in the great palaces, the classic cupboards are enriched, as we said, with the precious carvings and inlays: geometric or floral patterns, refined details and great compositions decorate the surfaces playing on soft shades the wooden essences by the precious brightness of the finish in gold leaf, which can outline the contours or cover entire carvings.
These works come to life from the wood, along with the shape of the classic cupboards themselves, to give them that unique style that made it so famous and admired the furnishings of the past centuries, reviving all their exclusivity even in today’s homes.
