Italian Carved Walnut Chairs with Leather Covers, Milan, circa 1750
Located in Milano, IT
Four carved walnut chairs with leather covers
Milan, circa 1750
They measure: 39.37” high, 18.30” to the seat, 21.65” deep x 19.29”
(100 cm high, 46.5 cm to the seat, 55 cm deep x 49 cm)
State of conservation:
- the leather covers are not original;
- some signs of use, especially on leather covers;
- the rocailles at the height of the backrests have lost part of the carved elements.
The four walnut chairs have a mixtilinear structure adorned with rocaille relief carvings; the legs are shaped and end with a curl. The backs and seats are padded and covered with impressed leather with figures and cartouche decorations from later production.
Around the mid-eighteenth century in Milan it was very popular to cover seats with impressed leather. Mutton or cowhide was used which, suitably tanned, was then worked with heated irons (hot decoration) or with carved wooden molds (cold decoration). These were impressed on the leather until obtaining a darker brown color. Our group of chairs...

18th Century French Wool and Silk Aubusson Tapestry and Engraving, circa 1750
By Aubusson Manufacture
Located in Milano, IT
La Jeunesse (Youth)
Tapestry
Polychrome wool and silk
France, Aubusson, circa 1750
It measures 107.08 in height x 104.33 in (272 cm height x 265 cm).
State of conservation: good
The tapestry is accompanied by the engraving from which the subject was taken.
The engraving measures 23.50 in x 25.86 in (59.7 cm x 65.7 cm) with the frame.
The Aubusson tapestry has controversial origins: some believe that it was the Saracens who imported this type of work into Europe while other authors believe that the production began at the same time as the marriage between Louis I of Bourbon and Maria de Hainaut in 1310. It was at this time that a considerable importation of tapestries from Flanders into France began, followed shortly thereafter by the importation of their production techniques.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century a royal edict from Henry IV halted the importation of Flemish tapestries, contributing to the subsequent Expansion of Aubusson production. The status of royal manufacture was to be granted only in 1665, even though the Nantes edict caused a drop in production because of the forced migration of weavers to Germany.
The full recovery and the success of the manufacturing took place during the eighteenth century when the great painters and the tapestry manufacturers began to collaborate.
Great French artists of the time and specialist painters, the “cartonniers”, painted “cartons de tapisserie” in oil or tempera, all of which were to be a source for the tapestries. As an alternative to the “cartons”, scenes taken from prints and engravings were freely used.
The tapestry in question, made of wool and silk, is in good condition; the colors are still fresh and the silks, which give brightness to the scene, are well preserved. There are a small number of integrative restorations present, while the lining and the suspension system have been recently refurbished.
The work is made with a flat-weave, according to the custom of the Aubusson manufactures, which is clearly demonstrated by this work since it shows all the technical and material characteristics typical of the first half of the eighteenth-century production: the “Jeunesse” was probably woven in the middle of the XVIII century.
The scene itself is compelling: a rural clearing is depicted, centered around a tall tree with dense fronds with lance-shaped leaves. In the shade of this tree some scenes of courtship can be seen. A couple hugs each other, one is caught stealing a kiss and another, lying softly on the grass, is still at the early stages of courtship: together with the suitor the girl looks with smiling malice at the kissing couple. On the right, two young men practice archery while aiming at a target placed on top of a pole.
The scene, with male and female characters intent on games and gallantry in a festive atmosphere, is taken - faithfully, but in mirror-image - from an engraving, which in turn was itself taken from the painting (now kept at the National Gallery in London, inv. NG103 and part of a series with the four ages of man) by Nicolas Lancret, produced around 1735.
The tapestry is accompanied by a copy of the engraving, which bears, at the bottom, the name of the author (“N. Lancret pinxit”), the name of the engraver (“N. De Larmessin sculpsit”) and four short verses on the subject of love disputes:
Pourquoi tous ces combats si chers a la jeunesse,
Quels frivoles talents veut-elle mettre au jour?
Non: chacun voudroit vaincre aux yeux de sa Maitresse,
La Lice est une Scène ou triomphe l’Amour.
Why all these fights so dear to youth,
What frivolous talents does it want to bring to light?
No: everyone would want to win in the eyes of his Mistress,
The Lice is a Scene where Love triumphs.
At the bottom we read: “A’ Paris chez N. De Larmessin graveur du Roy Rue de Noyer à la 4 (?) porte cochère a droite entrant par la Rue St. Jacques A.P.D.R. [Avec Privilège Du Roy]”.
Nicolas Lancret (1690-1743), along with Antoine Watteau, was a pupil of Pierre Durin and Claude Gillot...

18th Century Italian Marquetry Chest Of Drawers Museum Quality, Milan ca. 1760
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
An absolute masterpiece of mid 18th century Italian craftsmanship is this unbelievable artfully crafted marquetry chest of drawers out of Milan. Made around 1760 with highest attention to details, this one of a kind museum-quality commode is not only a precious item of antique furniture, much more it is a real smart investment. The very time-consuming restoration of this masterpiece took us more than 9 weeks and has been done by our most experienced master of restoration. The ultimate goal was it to restore it the old way to keep the unbelievable charme of this valuable 18th century dresser. With an age of more than 260 years, this remarkable rare chest of drawers comes with an elegant shaped body made of spruce and poplar, elaborately set nutwood/ cherry veneer and incredible marquetry works all over this unique italian commode. Providing two large drawers, this outstanding 18th century dresser is adorned by fantastic looking, inlayed depicitions of women surrounded by extensively designed round frames made of maple, nut and plum wood. The largest depiction on the front even runs over both drawers. The top plate is an absolute highlight, impressing with this amazing worked 3D-effect frame made of fine ebony, maple and plum wood which looks like a spiral. The same design has also been used on the front of this precious chest of drawers. The second frame with a slight green shine has been additionally surrounded by thin maple threads. Other exceptional 3D effect maple inlays in form of chain links can be found on both sides of the front pilasters. This exceptional "chain" effect is reinforced by so-called "Schwarlot" paintings - a technique which confers it this special depth. An incredibly crafted, one of a kind 18th century Italian chest of drawers...

Elegant Center Dressing Table, Rosewood Veneer, D.Genty Stamp, Louis XV
By Denis Genty
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Very elegant center dressing table, curved on all sides in rosewood veneer.
The top opens with a central shutter provided on the back of its mercury mirror and flanked by two shutters.
They unmask two removable lockers also in rosewood veneer.
The belt opens with four drawers, one of which is narrower, they are centered by a sliding writing tablet.
She poses on four high, pinched and arched feet.
A beautiful openwork and foliage fall in chiseled and gilded bronze terminated by a small sheathing shoe, accentuates the slight curve of the front and rear feet.
Fine ornamentation of chiseled and gilded bronzes such as offcuts, clogs, keyholes, as well as fine original brass hinges discreetly adorn this piece representative of small pieces of furniture born under the reign of Louis XV.
Period: Louis XV - Middle XVIIIth
Stamp: D GENTY received, master in 1754
Measures (closed): H: 75 x W: 97 x D: 50cm
This elegant piece has been completely restored, in accordance with the rules of the art, by the TWS workshops (Wimereux).
During the Louis XV period, the new layout of the apartments brought comfort and privacy.
The furniture corresponds in its forms as in its decoration to the evolution of the mores of French society.
Comfort and pleasure are at the origin of the small furniture and the triumph of the curved line.
The “flying” pieces of furniture, creations that adapt to this new way of life, are particularly light, elegant, and not very heavy with bronzes.
They are intended to be moved, from a bedroom to the living room, or to the boudoir.
Among these, we mainly find the writing table, the reading table, a Burgundy table, the standing writing table...
