Model Description

Model Structure

The big 18th-century Asolean Venetian single leaf door corner unit is processed by a frame, smoothed by two vertical parts on the sides and a big central leaf door hiding within some removable shelves used as a pantry. The upper cornice is well refined, with the same cornices of furnishing of the end of the 18th century, from Treviso. The frame is supported by 2 finely shaped legs.

Raw Material

The precious big 18th-century Asolean Venetian single leaf door corner unit with shaped legs is made of walnut wood, a very precious wood with light and brown chromaticities on the outside, whereas the inner part (plans, back, background) are made of limewood. The lock and the hinges are in hot-forged iron, hand-crafted from the original furniture.

Manufacture

The frame is assembled with hand-made tenon and fork joints, the leaf door is processed by framework and it is divided into 2 panels surrounded by a diamond milling, typically used in Venetian furniture. The upper cornice is considerably protruding and it is double “S” shaped, enriched by an inlaid band made of Ferrarese walnut-root along all the furniture’s perimeter and refined by a small cornice. The 2 supporting legs are fixed to the corner unit with a strong and resistant butt joint and shaped in 2 sides from solid walnut wood. The furniture is hand-crafted with the same techniques used during the 18th century in Vangelista Mobili 1960’s art laboratory.

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

When we visited a famous antiquarian in Asolo, we noticed a couple of big 18th-century Asolean Venetian corner units dating back to the end of the 18th century. When we asked for some informations, the owner told us that these corner units had been hand-made by an artisan, ordered by the count Giovanni Francesco Colbertaldo for his residence. Over the years, the corner units were sold to the antiquarian’s father. Given the originality and the elegance of the furniture, in addition to our high-demanding customers, we decided to reproduce it. By courtesy of our colleague, we retrieved all the details for a faithful replica. Our love for Venetian furniture and the continuous search of exclusive products gives Vangelista Mobili 1960 the chance to offer high-quality furniture to the customers, 100% luxury Made in Italy.
