THE PROCESSINGS
The framework of this magnificent and monumental 18th-century Venetian secretaire trumeau in 2 bodies is assembled with solid spruce wood vertical axes glued together by natural hot glue, and it is polished on the outside with rasps and abrasive papers to smooth the surface. The next step is the veneering, with a thickness of 4 mm, in rare woods, glued by hot glue and fixed by iron nails turned to keep the inlays pressed. The elegant carvings are hand-made with chisels and gouges. The polishing is made of natural water-based temperas, established by shellac applied with a brush. In the last step, we apply pumice stone and straw yellow oil, that intensifies the glossy appearance of the furniture and enhances the luxury grain and the intense colour of rare woods. The mirrors are antiqued and silvered by hand, as well as handlers, pommels and keys are hand-made.
