Manufacture

The circular table is designed, built, inlaid and polished by hand in the Vangelista Mobili 1960 high cabinet-making workshop. The robust workmanship of the extension system is made with artisan criteria that guarantee the maximum solidity to the Victorian English table in its maximum opening. Polished by hand with natural products and painted with earth powders in brown walnut tones, the round Luigi Filippo table is lightly antiqued by hand and fixed with shellac paint applied with a brush following the Farsetti method, which involves 22 swabs which the grain of the walnut, the inlay of the precious walnut feather and the transparency of the olive tree stand out to the maximum. Starting from the shape of the original model of the table, we have reproduced the milling cutter in mild steel in our laboratory. The table top is veneered with a thickness of 3 mm.
