1750 Venezia Italy Pair of Giltwood and Carved Red Lacquered Figures
Located in Brescia, IT
This is an extraordinary pair of warrior sculpted in gilded wood with red lacquer on the garments. These very rare pieces hail from the Mid-18th Century, and showcase exquisite craftsmanships through meticulously carved depictions of the garments, of the muscular arms and in particular for the refined and elaborate scroll designs on the garments in rare red lacquer.
At the top of the long branch in the figure's hands there is a flat base that can be used to place vases or objects.
The predilection for the exotic, which always played a preponderant role in Venetian artistic history, finds striking confirmation in the proliferation of these figures which make their appearance as polychrome furnishing elements already in the inventories of the 17th-Century. The 18th- Century decreed the triumph of these powerful figures sculpted in the round, variously used as torch holders, tray holders or vase holders.
One of the most Venetian furniture expert, D.ssa Clara Santini, said about these magnificent sculptures:
On rocky pedestals, this spectacular pair of warriors appears magnificently dressed in effortful oriental-style costumes. The bright gold of the dresses, embellished with red lacquer curlicues, are counterpointed by the ebony black lacquer and the red of the lips.
The bodies seem to arch in the gusts of wind which also inflate their clothes
The pieces are in very good state of maintenance and they are guaranteed original in every parts. The surface was only cleaned not restored and it is original.

1750 Venezia Italy Rococo Lacquered Wooden Yellow Box and Jewelry Case
Located in Brescia, IT
This is a magnificent lacquered wooden box, with rich polychrome decoration on a yellow background.
In the center of the lid an exotic landscape has been painted with palm, flowers and berries surrounding the figure of the elegant dressed lady.
The box has done following the techinque of "arte povera". With this tecnique there are less layers of lacquer and the decoration is made with a paper collage together some lacquered parts.
This brighting piece hails from the Mid-18th Century in Venezia and masterfully shows the lacquered Venetian style.
This box has a timeless beauty and it is a little jewel to contain jewels.
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 piece is in very good state of maintenance and it is guaranteed original in every parts. The surface was only cleaned not restored and it is original. The little iron key is not working.
