Introduction
Description Model
Rounded Baroque ‘700 Venetian desk desk with bronzes, lacquered two-tone turquoise in cherry wood, Luigi XV style. The desk is completely customizable, 100% Made in Italy.
MODEL STRUCTURE
The rounded Baroque ‘700 Venetian desk with bronzes, lacquered two-tone turquoise in cherry wood, Luigi XV style has all sides rounded with “double frame”, whereas the central part has 5 drawers – the one in the middle embellished by a removable reading plan. The well-shaped legs slim all the structure. The desktop has the same design of the lower part with the finely shaped edge in classic Luigi XV style.
RAW MATERIAL
The drawers are made of solid spruce wood, typical of Baroque ‘700 Venetian Luigi XV style furnishing, whereas the framework is built in precious solid cherry essence, free of knots, compact and excellent for lacquering. The top is also made of precious solid cherry wood, with amazing honey finishing and grain. Handlers and decorations of the legs are made of hot-forged bronzes, as well as the octagon-shaped pommels to remove the reading plan.
THE PROCESSINGS
The lime wood framework is assembled with solid parts glued together, the sides and the front are assembled with a strong tenon and mortise joint. The front of drawers has the same shape of the framework and the inner parts are put together by an hand-made dovetail joint. The two-tone lacquering is particular: the desktop is opal honey cherry, refined with hand-waxed shellac established with a brush, antiqued with stone, fake woodworms and scratches. The lower part is lacquered in turquoise, antiqued with stone and coated with brown clays: the coating permeates through the holes and fades towards the borders. The rounded Venetian desk with bronzes, lacquered two-tone turquoise in cherry wood, Baroque ‘700 Venetian Luigi XV style is protected by a French virgin beeswax established with a brush and removed with a soft cotton cloth. For an impressive result, we apply some bronzes (handlers, pommels and decorations) from the original desk, with the lost-wax technique, that is bronze poured in casting moulds, and they are hand-chiselled and polished with a cloth.

HISTORICAL NOTES AND CURIOSITIES OF MOBILE
The original desk is in the elegant Stern palace in Venice, in the office. The gothic Venetian palace, which was taken over by Stern family, had been restored and the owners kept the ‘700 furnishing. Vangelista Mobili 1960 has retrieved all the original features for a faithful reproduction, thanks to shape contouring on plywood, pictures and technical dimensional drawings. The result is this majestic two-tone lacquering desk. The furniture is designed, handcrafted, shaped and lacquered in our art laboratory, luxury 100% Made in Italy.
