Model Description

Model Structure

Raw Material

The sideboard is produced in essence of solid fir, a wood typically used by the Trentino cabinetmakers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries for the production of painted furniture.

Manufacture

The notched sideboard decorated in Tyrolean style is made with tenon and mortise joints: the workmanship of the structure, the lacquering and the decorations respect the same construction techniques and methods used in the 1600s. The most complex and laborious workmanship is given by the decoration : it begins with the preparation and application of the Bologna consumed chalk background, a semi-liquid mixture of water, chalk and graphite that creates an antique-flavored appearance, on which the tempera color is applied. The sideboard is then decorated by hand with a series of very fine brushes with vegetable, floral and baroque subjects.
