Model Description

Model Structure

The structure, with 2 shaped doors, is supported by tall and saber-shaped legs. The sides are shaped like a "rib" and the marquetry is herringbone, while in the center there is a splendid ferrarese walnut root worked in "speckle" in the centers, as used in the Venetian shops of the eighteenth century.

Raw Material

The internal frame of this important sideboard is made of solid spruce, veneered with a 3/4 mm covering in rare and precious essences of walnut worked in a herringbone pattern. The inlays are in Ferrarese walnut and rosewood briar. The key and key cover are made of cast brass on an earth mold.

Manufacture

The inlay is interspersed with a thread in precious and exotic Brazilian rosewood, also worked in a herringbone pattern. The frame of the top is molded, as in the original artifact, and shows the vertical "head" grain, which gives it greater value. The movable doors and sides are made with 6 cm wide vertical planks glued together to obtain the desired shape. After the polishing of all the shaped parts, we proceed with the inlaying: the internal stem is veneered with a walnut finish worked in a herringbone pattern of 3/4 mm. with at the center a splendid ferrarese walnut briar worked in " open spot "mirroring in the centers, as used in the Venetian shops of the eighteenth century. The sideboard is hand polished with natural products according to the Farsetti method, typical workmanship used in Venetian craft shops from the first half of the 1600s: there are 22 hand-made passages with cotton soaked in straw oil and pumice stone powder to emphasize the chromaticity of the precious essences and the warm veins of the walnut root. Vangelista Mobili 1960 is the only company that polishes its furniture using this complicated methodology. The key and the key cover are made of cast brass on an earthen mold with the ancient technique of lost wax, chiseled and polished by hand in the classical Louis XV Venetian Baroque style. This artifact of rare value is designed, built, inlaid and polished by hand inside our high-cabinetry workshop Vangelista Mobili 1960.
