Carlos IV dining room chair, ca. 1800. Lacquered and gilt wood. Fabric upholstery. With marks of use. Needs restoration. Measurements: 92 x 54 x 44 cm. This seating, made up of six chairs, corresponds in its entirety to the style and period of Charles IV. They all have a classic and refined structure, raised on inverted truncated pyramidal legs. The ornamentation is reduced to geometric motifs. The sobriety corresponds to a type of furniture that values simplicity and the expression of geometry and structural clarity. The Charles IV style developed during the golden age of furniture, which refers to the period between 1725 and 1835. During this period, furniture craftsmanship reached great splendour, as the design of each piece, its manufacturing techniques, sumptuousness and the variety of materials used all coincided at the highest point of quality. The characteristics of the Charles IV style are distinguished by the use of symmetry and aversion to curves, fine, classicist ornamentation, with geometric marquetry, usually with floral compositions in the centre. Applications of bronze with lacework and galleries on tables, chests of drawers and bureaus. Furniture gilded and painted in light colours, decorated with canes and grooves. Spanish furniture in the Charles IV style replicated French furniture, inspired by designs by Gasparini and Ventura Rodríguez. In Catalonia and Majorca, however, a furniture craftsmanship was produced whose interest lay in a greater independence from French canons and a greater influence from the Italians.
