About the Item

Large winged griffin by Bottega Vincenzo Cadorin, for Testolini & Salviati in carved walnut. These two sculptural elements were the basis of a large mirror, produced by the great carver Cadorin for the mirrors of the Testolini brothers. Due to their beauty and size, these sculptural works can be hung on a wall, individually or in pairs. Or at the side base of a modern large mirror Cadorin Vincenzo (1854-1925) Venetian sculptor born in 1854, he was trained in the studio of Benvenuti, he then studied at the Venetian Academy. In 1883 he exposed his first works in Rome and in the next year he won the Gold Medal in the exposure in Turin. (Luisa GIORDANO, Cadorin, Vincenzo, in Biographic Dictionary of the Italians, XVI, Rome 1973, p. 97). His most known work is the gilt carved wooden desk given to the Pope Pio X for his sacerdotal jubilee in 1908; the desk is now in the Basilica della Salute in Venice. He died in 1925. The exhibition on Atelier Cadorin consists of more than two hundred works carefully selected by Jean Clair, it will be held in the monumental spaces of Palazzo Fortuny, with an exhibition itinerary that evokes and documents not only the fascinating studios of this dynasty of artists, but also the lively intellectual context of the city. TESTOLINI BROTHERS-TESTOLINI FRERES-TESTOLINI & SALVIATI Fratelli Testolini saw its birth as a carpentry-cabinetmaking company; its owners were not ordinary personalities and immediately began to introduce new fashions in furnishings. The period chosen was not among the most propitious - shortly thereafter there would be the uprisings of 1848 and the famous revolt of Manin and the Republic of San Marco -, but the Testolini were not discouraged and serenely continued their production, seizing immediately the fresh artistic eclecticism that invaded the world from the mid-19th century, starting to conceive and produce original and imaginative models. Venice increasingly became a destination for rich international tourism and the Testolini Brothers began to diversify and expand their production, covering all branches of applied arts. Towards the end of the century their production was very varied: furniture, furnishing accessories, porcelain, textiles, lace, wrought iron, sculptures in both marble and wood, mosaics, micromosaics, glass, embossed metal objects and photographic material.
