Wooden Ceilings in the Italian Antiques Market between the 19th and 20th Centuries. Paradigmatic Cases from the Eredità Bardini Historical Archive

Abstract

This paper throws a light on a first investigation of the wooden ceiling market in relation to Stefano Bardini’s antiques business, starting from a partial examination of the Archivio Storico Eredita Bardini in Florence and from the analysis of some paradigmatic cases that occurred during the Eighties and Nineties of the 19th century.
