legno di rovere

This set of oak furniture for a law firm, dating from around 1912 and attributed to Gaspar Homar, or in any case ascribable to the Catalan Renaixança experience, appears to be a significant example of the widespread tendency, in the context of Art Nouveau, to rework the formal characteristics of this style through stylistic motifs taken from national or regional traditions. An attitude that in Catalonia was characterised, in particular, by the recurrent use of floral or plant motifs that referred to symbols peculiar to the local autonomist culture. A study consisting of three elements, two wardrobes and a desk, made of oak and with wrought iron decorations.
