Manufacture

The chest of drawers is completely handmade in our art workshop, with vertical solid wood slats to obtain the desired shape. For the handles, the bronze is cast on a clay mold using the ancient lost wax technique; they are then chiseled and polished by hand. The cabinet is lacquered in two colors, with the top polished in natural cherry, while in the remaining structure is antiqued and lacquered in black. The hand-made aging with turquoise ground powder gives the dresser an antique flavor.

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

We were contacted a few years ago for the restoration of a dresser standing on the fourth floor of Palazzo Mocenigo in Venice. Having brought the vintage artefact to our workshop, we were literally enchanted by the originality and exclusivity of the piece, by the elegance of its forms and by the perfection of the applied bronzes. We immediately thought of a reproduction for the market: with the patient processing of the convex structure in solid linden and the reproduction by means of a paste mold of the accessories, we were also able to reproduce all the bronzes making them in French gold bath and obtaining a result that still excites us. These processes fully express the craftsmanship of true Made in Italy.
