French translation:un témoignage de diverses époques
Explanation:
Je le comprends en ce sens. Comme une "juxtaposition" de divers types / styles de mobilier qui témoignent chacun d'une époque bien précise.

les strates de l'histoire


Explanation:
pour essayer de faire aussi pédant que l'original. Mais historicisme a un sens vraiment particulier. On se demande ce que cela vient faire là!

un palimpseste historique


Explanation:
Autre suggestion pour faire aussi pédant que la VO :)

Je pense que c'est l'idée, conserver le mobilier (de différentes époques) pour témoigner des strates de l'histoire, donc, par métaphore, d'un palimpseste historique
