During our visit to the amazing Masino castle in Caravino, Torino, we immediately noticed a couple of 17th-century Piedmontese Luigi XIV style beautiful display cabinet corner units at the entrance, and we decided to reproduce one of them for a customer. By the courtesy of FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano), who controls and manages the castle and the whole estate, we retrieved the main features and details to reproduce the display cabinet corner unit: the shaping of the cornice and the clog on plywood, technical dimensional drawings and detailed pictures of the inlays. Thanks to our love for classic furniture and our high-demanding clientele, we are one of the few Italian companies able to reproduce perfect reproductions with customizable sizes, type of wood and polishing. Vangelista Mobili 1960 reflects the real 100% luxury Made in Italy.
