CONCLUSION

Over the period of the two hundred years known as the Renaissance, there was a progression from simple and functional to decorated. Pieces of Renaissance furniture were more comfortable, and numerous, than medieval furniture. While not fully integrated into the design of interiors, some exceptional Renaissance pieces display the full virtuosity of carvers, sculptors, and gilders. Renaissance craftsmen established the essential roster of European furniture that would be further developed in the baroque and rococo periods.
