| Abstract |
This study aimed to identify characteristics of design and decoration of Danish peasant furniture, especially painted storage furniture, used during the 18-19th century before modern design movement of Internationalism prevailed all over the world. Owing to the fact that Danish peasant furniture were made of available conifer around the farms, painting method was preferred to carving. Remoted from main land of western and southern Europe, Scandinavian countries longed to imitate their Baroque style architecture and furniture made of marble or hard woods. Painting method was adopted to disguise cheap wood so that it looked like expensive or exotic materials such as marble, oak, metal, granite, etc. what they could not afford to buy. Eventually, they evolved unique materials, equipments and methods for imitation painting in order to decorate folk storage furniture as well as formal architecture: palaces, churches, and other official buildings. Marbling, clouds marbling, graining, stencil, spatter painting, trompe-l' il were cmmom to imitate stones or hard woods. Strong and bright colors had good combination together with dull colors on the Danish peasant painted furniture. |
