Antique print titled "Danze de' Chiliesi" (Dance of the Chileans), from the historical work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" by Giulio Ferrario. The print, created in 1821, showcases a traditional Chilean dance, vividly captured in line and aquatint etching with original hand coloring on wove (vellin) paper. The scene depicts a group of Chilean dancers in a circular formation, engaging in a traditional dance. The dancers are adorned in colorful attire, featuring breechcloths, leggings, and vibrant headdresses with feathers, which reflect their cultural heritage and the festive nature of the dance. The setting is outdoors, possibly during a community celebration or ritual, indicated by the natural backdrop and the casual yet organized arrangement of the figures. Cultural and Historical Significance This print is significant as it provides a visual documentation of Chilean cultural practices from the early 19th century, emphasizing the traditional dances that were an integral part of community gatherings and celebrations. The artwork, by C. Bramati and Paolo Fumagalli after designs by Giulio Ferrario, is part of a larger series that aimed to capture the costumes and customs of people around the world, offering insights into the diversity of cultural expressions during a time of burgeoning global awareness. The detailed depiction not only highlights the dance but also serves as an ethnographic record, preserving aspects of Chilean culture that might have evolved or faded over time. This work, along with others in the series, was widely distributed and appreciated for its educational and artistic value, making significant contributions to the understanding of global cultural heritage in the 19th century. ‘Tavole XXVIII.

Refined 19th Century Brazilian Table in the Style of Dom João VI This elegant Brazilian table from the 19th century exemplifies the transitional sophistication of the Dom João VI period, where neoclassical restraint met tropical grandeur. Executed in richly patinated hardwood, likely jacarandá or vinhático, this piece presents a strong architectural silhouette, softened by the graceful curve of its saber legs and the rhythmic turning of its four central columns. The tabletop features drop leaves on both sides, a practical and refined solution for varying spatial needs, and two central drawers adorned with stylized floral carvings and original turned wood pulls. The fluted baluster legs rest on a shaped lower stretcher, lending both stability and sculptural harmony to the piece. The scroll feet with spherical terminals subtly echo Regency influence, but the overall character is distinctly luso-brasileiro. This table would have graced a distinguished residence—perhaps a rural fazenda or a city sobrado—serving as a multifunctional piece in a reception room, library, or intimate dining space. Today, it offers collectors and interior designers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of authentic imperial...
