1750 Venezia Italy Set 3 Green Lacquered Wooden Engraved Chairs with Flowers

About the Item

This is a magnificent set of three Venetian chairs lacquered in light green with a fine polychrome little flowers decoration. A delicate and refined drawing of polychrome floral garlands on the green background, enhances the sophisticated linear structure, and this makes these three green lacquered chairs, unmistakable pieces of the most exquisite Venetian Rococo. The set showcases a fine elegance and the exquisite craftmanships of the Venetian master cabinetmakers It is undoubtedly the result of extreme high level of craftsmanship, the harmonious alternation of curves and counter-curvesn and the fine and tapered legs. These pieces can give grace and timeless beauty in every home. These chairs are coming out from the property of noble Marcello family of Venezia, from one of his villas, Cà Marcello located in the countryside near Venezia. One of the distinctive characteristics of Venetian Baroque and Rococo furniture is the skilful use of lacquers. Lacquer is a natural resin that was very rare in the past, imported from the East and used to create smooth and colored surfaces on furniture, ready to be finely decorated with refined floral designs or exotic animals. Venetian artisans became masters in lacquer processing which required time and patience because it was made with many steps. The Venetian style deeply influenced furniture design throughout Europe, but none reached the Venetian level in terms of beauty. The skillful use of lacquer and carvings defined Venice's unique style during the Rococo period, its Golden Age. The pieces are in very good state of maintenance and guaranteed original in every parts. The surface was only cleaned not restored and it is original. The set of wooden lacquered chairs, has the Certificate of Authenticity. The documents will be shown on demand in case of interest. The fabric silk upholstering is contemporary.

Italian Carved Walnut Chairs with Leather Covers, Milan, circa 1750
Located in Milano, IT
Four carved walnut chairs with leather covers Milan, circa 1750 They measure: 39.37” high, 18.30” to the seat, 21.65” deep x 19.29” (100 cm high, 46.5 cm to the seat, 55 cm deep x 49 cm) State of conservation: - the leather covers are not original; - some signs of use, especially on leather covers; - the rocailles at the height of the backrests have lost part of the carved elements. The four walnut chairs have a mixtilinear structure adorned with rocaille relief carvings; the legs are shaped and end with a curl. The backs and seats are padded and covered with impressed leather with figures and cartouche decorations from later production. Around the mid-eighteenth century in Milan it was very popular to cover seats with impressed leather. Mutton or cowhide was used which, suitably tanned, was then worked with heated irons (hot decoration) or with carved wooden molds (cold decoration). These were impressed on the leather until obtaining a darker brown color. Our group of chairs...
