Group of Four Neoclassical Vase Holder Columns Italy Last Quarter of the 18th

About the Item

Group of four columns with a square base, made of lacquered poplar wood with a marbled effect to emulate porphyry; decorated with pastille carvings, lacquered and illuminated in gold. On the four top corners of each column carved rosettes hold, in the guise of a gall, fluttering ribbons and festoons of leaves, flowers and fruits. On the three exposed sides of each column are medallions depicting putti riding dolphins, just below the festoons. The latter are presented according to two different versions that are very similar to each other: in the first, the putto rests his right hand on top of the animal's head, while with his left hand he holds a wind-blown drapery; in the second, his left hand is intent on governing the dolphin through the use of reins, at the same time that with his right hand he holds an arrow, a typical attribute of the mythological personification of the god Love. Lacquering and gilding of carvings taken up later.

Paravento alla chinoiserie. Italia, secondo quarto XIX secolo
By Non-Standard Furniture and Lighting
Located in Milano, IT
Paravento a cinque pannelli snodabili; in pioppo interamente laccato in nero, è decorato con motivi dipinti alla chinoiseie: dragoni, scimmie, volatili, e riserve raffiguranti scene di vita cinese, di giocoleria e di combattimento. Presenta cornici fogliacee dorate a decorazione della cimasa e della parte inferiore. Rivisitazione del designer Pietro Russo con stoffa Dedar. Già ampiamente diffuse alla fine del secolo percedente, le chinoiserie ebbero una vera e propria diffusione nell’Ottocento, apprezzate e richieste dalle principali corti europee. I richiami alla Cina e all’Oriente in genere erano in grado di richiamare un esotismo tanto qpperezzato a livello estetico quanto a livello culturale. Il calligrafismo dei disegni a chinoiserie, l’eterongeneo bestiario (sia reale che fantastico) e le scene di vita, offrivano infatti infinite soluzioni decorative per piccoli oggetti e intere pareti, creando interessanti effetti sccenografici nell’allestimento delle grandi sale. Tra i principali propomotori delle chinoiserie vi fu re Giorgio IV che, con la costruzione del Royal Pavilion a Brighton come palazzo di piacere sul mare, decise di allestire alcuni dei locali proprio con questo stile. In particolare la Banqueting Room, la Long Gallery e la Music Room presentano arredi, lampadari, oggettistica quali porcellane, ma anche moquette e vetrate, di gusto orientaleggiante. Le pareti della stanza dedicata alla musica, furono decorate con scene di vita cinese, in oro su fondo rosso, realizzate da Frederick Crace e Henry...
