The chair with eight-shaped backrest is produced in solid walnut. The seat is hand-upholstered with jute straps and steel springs. Only natural products are used for polishing.

Manufacture

This chair is a unique and exclusive model, produced, carved and polished in the Vangelista Mobili 1960 workshop. The refined lines, the accuracy of the carvings and the shellac and wax polishing are synonymous with a chair of the highest construction quality and of sophistication. The figure eight carving of the backrest and legs is done by hand on the bench and each construction element is joined with "male and female" joints. The chair is hand-polished with natural products: basic coloring with walnut-colored earth powders, shellac paint applied with a brush, light antique finishing expertly done by hand. Since the seat is also upholstered by hand, it is possible to choose the fabric or leather for the external covering.

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

In the mid-eighties, we were asked for the restoration of an oval-shaped dining table with 12 chairs. The antique dealer asked us to reproduce the eight-back chairs, given the refinement of their shape. Curiously, it was much more complex for us to obtain the shapes than to make the chair itself. We have produced this elegant model of Venetian chair in combination with both 18th century carved tables and contemporary design tables, which thanks to the stylistic detachment strongly highlight its uniqueness.
