Model Description

Model Structure

The cabinet with rounded and moved shapes is structured with 2 drawers and with shaped high legs. Lacquered and hand painted in beige tones, it is decorated with baroque and floral motifs in light blue with procedures and techniques used in the 18th century.

Raw Material

The elegant bedside table is produced in all its structure in solid linden wood, which is very suitable for lacquering.

Manufacture

The entire structure is handmade and the decoration is made adopting procedures and techniques used in Venetian workshops during the eighteenth century: it was initially created a base with worn Bologna plaster, then the furniture was hand painted with tempera colours and patinated with natural ground to give an antique appearance. It was all fixed with a transparent shellac spread with a brush and then with the final protection phase using virgin beeswax.

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

The history of the reproduction of this bedside table is very curious. A couple of customers gave us photos of the original model coming from a Venetian workshop of 1700 asking us to produce it in small dimensions to be adapt to the children's room, maintaining the same architectural forms and decorations. For the realization we have created a drawing quoted on plywood panel and, having seen our customers for confirmation, we proceeded with its realization.
