Historical notes and mobile curiosities

Few decades ago we went to Pavia, in the main square of Vittoria, to visit the old palace Broletto (dating back to the 13th century) and in the middle of the big salon we noticed a big round table in Transitional style. According to the staff, initially there were two tables but one of them was subsequently sold to a famous antiquarian from Milan during the First World War. Given the originality of the table, the elegance of inlays and the olive root, we soon decided to reproduce it. By courtesy of the owners, we took detailed pictures and traced all the necessary shapes. We decided to handcraft the table in 2 sizes, to satisfy the strong demand of our customers, and being another time proud of our exclusive products. The table is designed, handcrafted, inlaid and polished in Vangelista Mobili 1960’s art laboratory.
