Giuseppe Bianchi Group of three women on a pillar, 1920

Giuseppe Bianchi Group of three women 1920. Three nude women climbing a pillar resting on a square base, holding a banner or something similar. One of them holds a wheel of a cart. 

This bronze cast is signed on the base by G. Bianchi, resting on a square marble base and features a beautiful dark patina, in good condition. 

The fluid modeling of this composition, the deforming line of the three female figures almost detached from anatomical reality, but with strong emotional and spiritual impact, are features that lead us to place the sculpture in the second decade of the 20th century, in the symbolic currents of the era.

Giuseppe Bianchi (Como 1864 - 1944) participated in the National Exhibition in Brera in 1922 with a marble sculpture titled “Dear Remembrances”. Some of his works are also known, recently appeared in public sales, and are part of the Art Collections of the Maggiore Hospital in Milan.

Stylish antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. Today, there is a growing number of enthusiasts of high-quality vintage items that have a distinct character and soul. It’s a nod to history, craftsmanship, and the creation of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its own distinctive features.

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few key ones stand out. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, dominated by the Biedermeier style. Its early 20th-century variants include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles evolved into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque styles.

Empire-style furniture dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. It originated during Napoleon’s reign, characterized by significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation.

Neoclassical furniture reflects the Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Notable and noteworthy are antique products in Rococo and Louis XV styles. Next is Baroque, whose name derives from the Portuguese “barocco” – meaning an irregularly developed pearl. These were highly decorative pieces designed to radiate splendor and play a significant role in luxury. Unique, selectively used materials were employed to emphasize the grandeur of these items.

Today, we can observe how much the Baroque style influenced modern classical furniture, which is designed with a strong resemblance to the historical period. An important style is also Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and left a significant mark on furniture-making art. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and bulky, often using brown stains, moldings, sturdy bases, and reliefs. These were quite distinctive products, but they also opened new possibilities, such as the construction of cabinets and broadly speaking, chest furniture. Mythology and ancient times also inspired these designs, with supports and legs taking animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle heads – these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce such furniture, inspired by Italian and French creators. This reflects admiration and respect for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It’s important to remember that furniture production was perceived differently in each country, so each style had its own character. This is especially important when searching for an elegant antique that suits your interior.

The key to prestigious antique furniture is originality. Ultimately, this is crucial for buyers, as many forgeries circulate on the market.
