Furniture Styles in History: Etruscan and Roman Furniture
Content Summary Overview
Etruscan furniture found in the tombs carved out of the rocks. But it is known that they had expert craftsmen in wood, stone, textiles and tomb painting. The most original contribution in furniture lay in their use of bronze. A number of bronze chests in circular forms are remarkable. They stand on paw feet and engraved with figures. A barrel-shaped type of chair was made of sheet bronze with the back and arms forming a continous curve that joined a drum-like circular base. A funerary statue dating from the fifth century BC now in Florence, shows an elaborate armchair, with carved sphinx supports. Large bronze candlestick and lamp stands, dating from the seventh to the third century BC have tripod bases and shafts with animal figures climbing up them. A couldron stand of the third century, engineered with strips of bronze arranged geometrically is another example from the Etrusks. Little is known about th Etruscan furniture. A vase painting depicting a woman sitting on a klismos (a chair with a shaped slab at the back and curved legs is one of these.
