Antique Venice Walnut Four Louis XVI Chairs , still usable, by Vincenzo Cadorin

About the Item

IMPORTANT: ON REQUEST WE WILL RE-UPHIDE THE CHAIRS WITH A SUPPLEMENT OF EURO 150 EACH. Refined Four Venetian Louis XVI Chairs, 19th century, with velvet upholstery still usable. Reinforced structure of the chairs for daily use. Spring seat. Splendid original antique patina. The design of the chairs can be attributed to the school of Vincenzo Cadorin, for the elegant and light shapes produced by Cadorin in that era. Cadorin Vincenzo (1854-1925) Venetian sculptor born in 1854, he was trained in the studio of Benvenuti, he then studied at the Venetian Academy. In 1883 he exposed his first works in Rome and in the next year he won the Gold Medal in the exposure in Turin. (Luisa GIORDANO, Cadorin, Vincenzo, in Biographic Dictionary of the Italians, XVI, Rome 1973, p. 97). His most known work is the gilt carved wooden desk given to the Pope Pio X for his sacerdotal jubilee in 1908; the desk is now in the Basilica della Salute in Venice. He died in 1925. Fortuny Palace: The Cadorin Bottega: A dynasty of Venetian artists The last published photo is the Palazzo Fortuny of Venice where IDA Cadorin, known professionally as IDA Barbarigo, lies at the centre of an exhibition around the Cadorin dynasty, now open at Palazzo Fortuny. An exhibition of a family collection as well as a fabric of references. The exhibition on Atelier Cadorin consists of more than two hundred works carefully selected by Jean Clair, it will be held in the monumental spaces of Palazzo Fortuny, with an exhibition itinerary that evokes and documents not only the fascinating studios of this dynasty of artists, but also the lively intellectual context of the city. The show stems from the need to protect an extraordinary artistic and historical heritage: a record of intense activity by at least three generations of artists, architects, musicians and photographers working in Venice between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The genealogy of the Cadorin family, who are worthy successors to the great art workshops of the Republic of Venice, represents a unique interweaving of lives under the banner of art, from the sculptor Vincenzo, the photographer Augusto Tivoli and the Fiorini lute-makers, to the architect Brenno del Giudice and the painters Guido, Livia, Ida, and Zoran Music.
