Historical notes and mobile curiosities

While visiting Palazzo Labia in Venice we were struck by a gracious 18th century sitting room with a magnificent and refined finely hand-carved table in the centre. Given the peculiarity of the carvings, we immediately thought of reproducing it faithfully while maintaining the same aesthetic characteristics. To make it, we selected a lot of photographic material, to be sure of all the necessary details, and traced the shapes of the legs and the lower crosspiece on a plywood panel. All the building material, precious and necessary for the reproduction of this luxurious coffee table, is conserved in our Vangelista Mobili 1960 high cabinet-making workshop.
