SEMINAR OF FURNITURE, INTERIOR DESIGN AND ANTIQUES (II):
APPLIED ARTS
2 weeks - 82 hours

If you want to improve or complete your knowledge of Interior Design and Antiques, you must discover the fascinating world of the Minor, or Applied, Arts. Ceramics, wrought iron, inlay and weaving are the artistic pursuits students learn about in this course.

SYLLABUS
A study of the History of the Furniture and Antiques concerning style and time, precedes the actual restoration. A Graphic and Metric Relief of the whole piece of furniture is then carried out, in order to point out where to operate and restore the missing parts. Finally, the Cleaning and Polishing, and, if necessary, the Paint Decoration or the Lackering are executed.

GUIDED VISITS
During the Seminar there will be two guided visits: one to Florence (laboratories of restoration and antique shops); the other one in the Province of Arezzo to laboratories of restoration but also to factories where furniture is made in 19th-century style.
