About the Item
This is an extraordinary set of seven Puppets depicting the characters of the Venetian Art Comedy of Art in the theater, the Doctor, the Miserly, the Captain, the Brother and then Isabella, Silvia and Leandro, young people in love.
These rare pieces hail from the Mid-18th Century, Venezia, Italy.

Those are pieces with stunning beauty that can perfectly matches with every timeless home. It can be a little treasure to collect.
One of the distinctive characteristics of Venetian Baroque and Rococo furniture and decorative objects, is the skilful use of lacquers. Lacquer is a natural resin that was very rare in the past, imported from the East and used to create smooth and colored surfaces on furniture, ready to be finely decorated with refined floral designs or exotic animals.
Venetian artisans became masters in lacquer processing which required time and patience because it was made with many steps.
The Venetian style deeply influenced furniture design throughout Europe, but none reached the Venetian level in terms of beauty. The skillful use of lacquer and carvings defined Venice's unique style during the Rococo period, its Golden Age.
The pieces are in very good state od maintenance and guaranteed original in every parts. The surface was only cleaned not restored and it is original.
The Puppets set has the Certificate of Authenticity. The documents will be shown on demand in case of interest.
Referring bibliography:
The pieces are presented in the bibliography: "Mobili Veneziani laccati" tav.XCVII e XCVIII, translated in "Venetian lacquered furniture" ed. 1958 by the expert G.Morazzoni, featured as example of rare pieces.
