Manufacture

The slender line of the "pin" legs and the polychromatic decorations of this handmade chest of drawers, produced in our high cabinetry workshop Vangelista Mobili 1960, reflect the typical Tyrolean style furnishings. Lacquered with a plaster background Bologna, and painted in polychromic tempera with baroque, geometric and floral subjects, the chest of drawers is coated with powdered earth that creates an aging effect with an antique flavor, and fixed with transparent shellac applied with a brush, finally protected with virgin French beeswax.

The chest of drawers is reproduced from the original artifact dating back to the end of the seventeenth century, coming from the Val di Sole area more precisely from Malè, in Trentino Alto Adige.

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

Interesting and curious is the first realization of this model, which we have reproduced for a private mountain residence completely furnished in a contemporary/modern style. The architectural firm that commissioned the dresser wanted to highlight the single piece in contrast to the modern furnishings, to emphasize the classic Tyrolean Louis XVI style of the mountain residence.
