During this period, furniture craftsmanship reached great splendour, as the design of each piece, its manufacturing techniques, sumptuousness and the variety of materials used coincided at the highest point of quality. The characteristics of the Charles IV style are distinguished by the use of symmetry and an aversion to curves, fine, classicist ornamentation, with geometric marquetry, usually with floral compositions in the centre. Applications of gilded bronze with loops and galleries on tables, chests of drawers and bureaus. s. Furniture gilt and painted in light colours, decorated with canes and grooves. Spanish furniture in the Charles IV style replicated French furniture, inspired by designs by Gasparini and Ventura Rodríguez. In Catalonia and Majorca, however, a furniture craftsmanship was produced whose interest lay in a greater independence from French canons and a greater influence from the Italians.
