The Tuscan collection is characterized by the use of the Tuscan column, and deep, well-refined moldings and panels that use very classic shapes such as the ogee (also known as the cymta recta).

The Tuscan column is one of the simplest of the columns of the classic orders and is considered to be a more rural derivative of the Greek Doric order developed by the Etruscans. Charles developed the molding from measurements he took from many of the doors he saw while traveling in Florence. He further developed this style by the use of carved Vasari's moldings which lend a carnival air to these pieces. The original inspiration came from a table that Charles saw in the home of the author Giorgio Vasari in Arezzo, Italy.
