Model Description

Model Structure

The console line has a "double rib" in both the front and sides, rounded in both directions. Two large side drawers, mounted with handmade dovetail joints, are divided by a small secret central drawer. The legs are moved and shaped like a "saber", surrounded in their outer perimeter by a very refined hand-carved cord, which lightens the shape. The Louis XV Venetian console is lacquered with an exclusive two-tone finish: the top is polished in antiqued honey tones, the frame is lacquered in dark brown, while the inside of the legs is lacquered in red. The console has a golden lower perimeter cord in worn gold leaf and is embellished with important hand-engraved bronze accessories in the classic Louis XV style.

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

Visiting the Ca 'Dario palace in Venice, we noticed in the main hall a pair of shaped and rounded two-tone consoles and, impressed by their shape and originality of the two-tone lacquer with the red interior of the legs, we chose to reproduce the model for our prestigious clientele. The meticulous work of the convex construction and the reproduction of bronze accessories were not easy, but the result is excellent, comparable to the original. Only Vangelista Mobili 1960 reproduces high quality pieces in its artisan workshop that reflect the typicality of the true Made in Italy.
