The original and complex shape of the structure with the “advanced body” pillars and the demanding decoration and lacquering done by hand, make this artifact a furniture of high craftsmanship, synonymous of luxury furniture made by hand and produced in Italy inside our laboratory. The most complex part is the decorations, fixed with French shellac paint spread with a brush. Both the doors and the sides and the drawers are worked with a clew-like frame, with frames that produce a mixtilinear effect, typical of Venetian furnishings in the Louis XIV style. The basic shade is the amber yellow color, the frames are lacquered in red and white with a grey patina. The drawers, mounted with dovetail joints to guarantee greater stability and value, are decorated with refined floral designs, while the panels of the doors are painted with vases and floral cups and the sides recall baroque decorations in a gommalacca tone. The sideboard is lacquered in lobster-colored marble, a very complex decoration that increases the value of this important piece of furniture. The importance of furniture is also given by the complex decoration of the faux marble top.

Visiting the prestigious Palazzo Giustinian in Venice, in the salon on the first floor we noticed a copy of sideboards with a mixtilinear shape and immediately we thought of one of our clients looking for sideboards painted with flowers and baroque just like the models in the building. With kind permission of the property, we have taken over some quotas and product of the photographic material, then submitted it to the vision of our client, who confirmed to us the order of a pair of equal but larger sideboartds, ideal for his residence. Vangelista Mobili 1960 is proud to have reproduced this important and particularly complex artifact.
