Italian, venetian XVIII century console table in gilded wood
About the Item
This console was made in the XVIII century in Venice, Italy, from carved and gilded wood. The recessed top is in pink marble. The console has a Louis XV style line, with a strongly shaped top, a band and curved legs. On the front and sides the band features a carved decoration with scroll motifs and phytomorphic elements in the Rocaille style. On the front we find a burin workmanship. The four legs are crossed by floral branches in relief and carved feet.
The brilliance of the gold and the refined Venetian curved lines of this console make it an important piece of furniture, perfect for placing in an entrance, living room or lounge, combined with antique or modern furnishings.
The console
Graceful furnishing of "porteghi", halls and sitting rooms, the console takes on, in the Rococo era, countless shapes, all invariably marked by the unstable lightness of the serpentine line, which declines the fluxous incarnation of the "en cabriole" supports.
Emblem par excellence of opulence and the splendor that accompanies it, gold leaf entirely covers the pine frame of this refined console with pink marble top, of “Venezia acqua” origin.
Venice water
The Venetian furniture "Venice water" in antiquarian jargon, is much more refined and of much higher quality than the Venetian furniture, which remains tied to the provincial inflections of the area surrounding Venice.
Details:
There are various elements that give decorative quality and that allow this console to be characterized as Venetian:

Burin

Authenticity

the presence of similar works, useful for a comparative exercise, published in I Mille Mobili Veneti by Clara Santini, pages 167-168-169; 18th century Venetian furniture, G. Morazzoni

- Pair of neoclassical Italian chests of drawers in inlaid wood, XVIII centuryLocated in Vicenza, ITThis exceptional pair of Italian neoclassical 18th century dressers in wood richly inlaid on the front, sides and 4 truncated pyramid legs are top-quality example of Italian 18th century cabinetmaking. The pair of commodes are originals from the second part of the 18th century (1780). The front of the pair of commodes is divided into three levels of drawers, two thinner ones at the top and bottom and a thicker central one. This arrangement makes the front of the pair of drawers even more elegant. On the front of the central drawer stands a large oval with two mirror-image neoclassical figures represented. Rich and complex foliate motifs start from the oval and extend gracefully across the entire surface. Corresponding to the upper and lower drawers, both frontally and laterally, runs a band with inlays depicting classical style garlands with ribbons, cameos and phytomorphic elements. On the side, inside geometric figures created through the combination of various wood essences there are other garlands and recurring elements in the inlays of the neoclassical period. The pillars are also inlaid with floral and leaf decorations. The four truncated pyramid legs are also inlaid. These eighteenth-century Italian chests of drawers were exhibited at the Triennale Museum in Milan on the occasion of the exhibition "Il Salone, la città", which took place in conjunction with the "Salone del Mobile" in Milan. We have all the documentation attesting to this museum exhibition. The dressers are entirely inlaid with the use of different wood essences. The inlaid surfaces have also been pyrographed and burnished and are in excellent condition. This very refined technique allows you to create greater definition of the decorations, giving three-dimensionality and chiaroscuro to the drawings. With a dark background, the elegant inlays create neoclassical designs inspired by the taste of the time and the famous furniture of the Lombard cabinetmaker Giuseppe Maggiolini di Parabiago, who brought the inlay technique applied to neoclassical furniture to the highest levels. The marble top is contemporary. The handles and mouthpieces of the locks, also original, are in gilded bronze. The neoclassical furniture of the eighteenth century The last quarter of the eighteenth century coincides with the affirmation of the neoclassical taste, in opposition to the previous rococo or baroque style, particularly widespread and appreciated in Lombardy. An echo of this transition is visible in Maggiolini's first works, namely rounded chests...Category
