dbo:abstract Ancient furniture was made of many different materials, including reeds, wood, stone, metals, straws, and ivory. It could also be decorated in many different ways. Sometimes furniture would be covered with upholstery, upholstery being padding, springs, webbing, and leather. Features which would mark the top of furniture, called finials, were common. To decorate furniture, contrasting pieces would be inserted into depressions in the furniture. This practice is called inlaying. It was common for ancient furniture to have religious or symbolic purposes. The Incans had chacmools which were dedicated to sacrifice. Similarly, in Dilmun they has sacrificial altars. In many civilizations, the furniture depended on wealth. Sometimes certain types of furniture could only be used by the upper class citizens. For example, in Egypt, thrones could only be used by the rich. Sometimes the way the furniture was decorated depended on wealth. For example, in Mesopotamia tables would be decorated with expensive metals, chairs would be padded with felt, rushes, and upholstery. Some chairs had metal inlays. (en) Les meubles de l'Antiquité grecque et romaine sont connus par l'archéologie, mais plus encore par les innombrables stèles funéraires, céramiques peintes et autres supports. Le mobilier antique était normalement fait de bois, mais les exemplaires coûteux étaient souvent agrémentés d’éléments en métal qui ont de meilleures chances de survie. Les styles étaient généralement plutôt légers et élégants dans le mobilier de la classe supérieure mais, selon les normes modernes, les meubles n'apparaissent pas très confortables. Certains objets entièrement métalliques tels que les chandeliers, braseros et objets de sacrifice, ont survécu et d'autres, recouverts par l'éruption du Vésuve, ont été carbonisés ou leur empreinte, restée moulée dans la roche volcanique, a pu être coulée en plâtre, donnant une idée claire de leur forme originale. Les riches avaient des tables et des chaises soutenues par un piètement en marbre, et certaines d’entre elles ont survécu. L'osier était largement utilisé pour les fauteuils. (fr)
