In 18th Century Italy, France and England, many designers and artists created painted furniture to coordinate with the specific decorative scheme of a room. When the walls were decorated with polychromed motifs, the furniture often echoed similarly painted elements.    It is Zaccaria Designs' goal to reintroduce and renew this concept. Although contemporary designers no longer  adhere to this  design concept, Zaccaria Designs wants to show its clientele that individual pieces of painted furniture have great relevance to modern rooms. The painting technique used by  Zaccaria Designs dates back to the ancient Egyptians, who perfected the art of painting on wood.  The method used is simple but effective.   First, we coat the wooden furniture with a thin layer of adhesive plaster; to this absorbent surface we apply our pigments. In addition to plaster, natural products like milk paint and bees wax are used. Our painted furniture collection combines the color and vitality of paint with the three-dimensional form and texture of wood. Our unique pieces prove that brilliant colors and intricate patterns can transform today's rooms into harmonious environments of elegant beauty - painted furniture can continue to live on for many years more.
