Historical notes and mobile curiosities

The original furniture of this splendid model dates back to the mid-1700s and is located at Palazzo Valmarana in Vicenza. Towards the mid-1970s we supplied furnishings for this building for the main entrance hall, which had to be combined with the only existing piece of furniture, the weekly chest of drawers. We found shapes, and all the photographic material necessary for the reproduction of all the matching furnishings, as well as reproducing the weekly chest of drawers. Given the strong demand for this model from our customers, we have also created the matching dresser and bedside tables.
