1750 Venezia Italy Lacquered Wooden Yellow Box with Flowers and Birds
Located in Brescia, IT
This is an elegant lacquered and shaped wooden box, with fine and polychrome flowers decoration on yellow background. In the center of the lid a bouquet of flowers has been painted and on the top of this one, rests a little bird with a long tail framed by a flowery ramage and crossed by a red ribbon.
This brighting piece hails from the Mid-18th Century in Venezia and masterfully shows the lacquered Venetian style.
This Venetian lacquered box is a precious jewelry case and it has an intense beauty that could matches with the elegance of every timeless home.
One of the distinctive characteristics of Venetian Baroque and Rococo furniture and decorative objects is the skilful use of lacquers.

Venetian artisans became masters in lacquer processing which required time and patience because it was made with many steps.
