Model Description

Model Structure

The commode is made with 3 drawers. The front and sides are softly shaped like a crossbow, the lower part and the four high support legs are shaped and carved by hand on solid walnut wood. Even the chest of drawers is shaped by taking up the same movement of the stem and is veneered with noble wood inlays of walnut, maple, and exotic and rare woods such as ebony, rosewood and bois de rose, while its frame presents a fine veining of the head. The drawers are joined with handmade dovetail joints, a typical work of high value by the Venetian artisans of the eighteenth century.

Raw Material

The whole structure is built with vertical axes in solid spruce wood, then shaped and veneered with precious and uncommon essences such as the briar of Ferrara walnut worked in open-stained centers, rosewood, ebony, cherry, bois de rose and maple.

Manufacture

The chest of drawers is hand-polished with natural products according to the Farsetti method, which emphasizes the chromaticity of the walnut and the warm veins of the Ferrarese walnut root. Vangelista Mobili 1960 is the only company to use this ancient working methodology.

Size of the model in the picture

The chest is reproduced in the size 141x60x 99h. Polished and veneered with inlays completely handmade, it can be customized to size, quality of wood and type of finishes.

Model History

Century of use

Historical notes and mobile curiosities

We had the opportunity to closely observe and touch the commode during our participation in the first edition of the Milan Fine Art Week of 2022 and since then the precious piece of furniture has become part of our production. It is one of the pieces of our collection richer in inlays, even very complex, a feature that made us literally fall in love at first sight of this beautiful dresser. Designed, inlaid, carved and finished in the Vangelista 1960 high cabinet-making workshop.
