About the Item
Stunning & rare Italian venetian highly carved walnut Baroque upholstered arm chair~~ Besarel~~mid-19th century
We recently had the good fortune to obtain this rare work of art~~an antique carved walnut arm chair by the renowned artist Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902), created in the style of Andrea Brustolon, a Venetian woodcarver in the late 17th and early 18th century. Besarel studied in Venice from 1855-1857 and specialized in ornate Baroque designs for furniture frames. His mentor, Brustolon, is credited with high quality Baroque carvings and devotional sculptures at several Venetian churches, one of which is the Basilica of St. Peter.
This chair is exquisitely carved throughout~~large figures support the chair with carved putti or cherub figures on arms~~"X" stretcher with up finial and beautifully upholstered floral tapestry seat and back with nail head trim~~such a RARE find~~imagine this in front of a fireplace or as a hall, entry or dining chair!
Measures: 47.5" tall x 32" wide x 22" deep
Seat height is 20.75" tall from floor
Solid, sturdy and heavy with gorgeous walnut patina

Valentino Panciera Besarel
Valentino Panciera Besarel was born in Val Zoldana, Italy. Growing up in poverty despite his father's and grandfather’s recognized work, Besarel was unable to have a regular education. Training and working at his father's workshop was only after Giuseppe Segusini saw him at work that he was able to attend the Venice Academy. He moved to Venice in the 60s and set up a workshop and despite having lost four of his fingers, received great honors and European so much so that he became the official supplier of the major continental monarchies.
