Historical notes and mobile curiosities

An antiquarian customer of Rome, visiting our laboratory, gave us the original model of this splendid reproduction of a tea table. The original living room table was not in optimum condition, so we restored missing pieces on the legs and retouched the gilding in various elements. One of our private customers passing through, impressed by the elegance of the carvings and the refined shape, commissioned us an identical model, made to measure with the same characteristics. Given the great demand, we still reproduce this custom-made model.
