Description and history
Pot pourri composed of petals and dried flowers immersed in essence. To be placed in a tray to decorate and perfume rooms or in small bags to be stored in wardrobes and drawers.
Entering a workshop, pieces of wood are scattered on the floor. The smell of resin blends with pine needles and fir. A lit fireplace releases a balsamic and slightly smoky fragrance.
Arte dei Legnaioli. The members of the Arte dei Legnaioli (carpenters) were involved in building constructions and indoor furnishings. The so-called Cassettai (wood dresser makers) were extremely skilled artisans, especially in making customized and refined wooden chests. Wood was imported from the Casentino or the Mugello valleys (both in the surroundings of Florence). Walnut wood, chestnut-wood, beech-wood, and cherry wood were used the most.
