splendid “repos lit”, a multifunctional piece of furniture that can be used as a bed, as well as for resting, reclining or simply sitting. Its structure, of imposing dimensions, is made of wood, probably mahogany, widely used in that period. The set is completed with four large cushions, two for the backrest and two for the sides, in addition to the tufted seat and a pair of curlers.
william iv of the united kingdom (1765-1837) was king of the united kingdom of great britain and ireland and of hanover, from 26 june 1830 until his death in 1837. His reign was brief, but it was a crucial time of change , in which parliamentary reform led to the current constitutional monarchy. The furniture created in this style reflects this period of transition, with forms that bridged the neoclassicism of the preceding regency style and the more extravagant victorian style that would follow.
it represents an evolution towards more robust and decorative furniture, because, although it is inspired by the straight and sober lines of the neoclassical, it begins to integrate curved and more decorative details. There is a return to rococo influences, but adapted to achieve a more robust and durable appearance. In some cases, more striking decorative carvings, such as acanthus leaves, scrolls and floral motifs, appear, especially on chair backs and table supports. These decorations give a naturalistic and ornamental touch.
inspired by ancient greece and rome, the designs were often more imposing than regency furniture. They were characterized by straight lines and subdued ornamentation, compared to those of george iv's time. William iv had a relaxed air and was much more formal, while the ruler who preceded him was a much more extravagant king. Fine woods such as mahogany or rosewood were used, often in dark tones. The choice of these woods sought to create a solid and luxurious presence, with finishes that highlighted the natural grain of the wood.
