Historical notes and mobile curiosities

During our trip to Villa Saraceno in Agugliaro, Vicenza, we noticed a couple of the original corner units in the saloon of the main portico, facing one another. We were impressed by the simplicity of the outline and, in the meantime, by the shape of the drawers, so we decided to reproduce it for our high-demanding clientele. We kept the main shape and features but altered the polish, bleached old fashioned hazelnut, strongly demanded by our customers. We are one of the few companies able to reproduce antique classic furniture, with the same techniques and precious wood of the period, polished with natural products, reflecting the real 100% Made in Italy.
