Model Description

Model Structure

The structure of the two-tone console has 2 side drawers and a small but very useful central drawer. The stem is supported by 4 finely shaped cabriolet legs connected by a bull-shaped carved cord that surrounds the entire external perimeter. The shape is wavy and rounded in two directions. The splendid French console is embellished with refined brass accessories. The honey-toned cherry top detaches from the lower part lacquered in marine green, which takes up the same shades as the original product.

Raw Material

The two-tone console is made of solid cherry wood, with interiors in essence of fir. The lacquer is a tempera dissolved in natural water.

Manufacture

Designed, built and lacquered by hand in the Veneto Vangelista Mobili 1960 laboratory, all the workings of the console are made following the same techniques used in the French workshops of the 17th and 18th centuries. The finish takes up the same colour, patination and aging of the period model. The lacquering of the cherry top highlights the chromaticity of the wood, being fixed with natural water-based varnish applied with a brush and protected with French beeswax composed of carnauba and turpentine. The rounded and shaped console is embellished with refined brass accessories, cast on an earthen mold using the lost wax technique and hot made to measure based on the shape of each element to which they are applied.
