Abstract

In this article, our attention is focused on the BED as an element of peasant furniture, on the territory of the Republic of Moldova (late nineteenth century - mid-twentieth century). The bed derives in most cases from the bench. As furniture with a special shape, the bed appears in the rural house in the 19th century, first in wealthy families. It is more widespread in the interwar period and after the Second World War. According to the system of joining the parts, the classification of beds can be divided into two categories: beds joined in «feather and gutter»; beds joined with «plug and hollow». The tables present the largest decoration of the bed through various wavy profiles, through variations of planes, turned parts, in rare cases decorated with simple paintings or by imitation veneer. The detailed analysis of the peasant furniture, and of the beds, in particular, starting from the craftsman, who made this furniture, the execution and decoration technique used, tell us about the tendencies of a period, which is worth following closely to better understand the artistic peculiarities of the furniture and traditional art.
