The show

Palazzo Reale, in the Teatro del Falcone, opens to the public from 29 February to 5 July 2020 a large exhibition dedicated to the production of furniture and decorative arts in Genoa in the nineteenth century, starting with the furniture designed and made by the refined English furniture maker Thomas Henry Peters ( 1792-1852), present in the city for thirty-five years. His activity revolutionized the cabinet-making sector throughout the Ligurian territory, leading it from an elegant artisan practice to a modern industrial and serial production level capable of responding both to the needs of the most cultured and sophisticated client, as well as to the most measured desires. of the bourgeoisie of business and commerce.

The exhibition, curated by Luca Leoncini, Caterina Olcese Spingardi and Sergio Rebora, will offer the public an articulated path organized by sections that will give an account of multiple types of furnishing objects - furniture, paintings, drawings and sketches, porcelain, majolica, sculptures, plaster casts and photographs - thus evoking the cultural choices typical of the new upper middle class of business and commerce, active in Genoa at the beginning of the 19th century .
