About the Item

IMPORTANT: ON REQUEST WE WILL RE-UPHIDE THE CHAIRS WITH A SUPPLEMENT OF EURO 150 EACH. Reinforced structure of the chairs for daily use. Spring seat. Set of 6 Asolane Biedermeier chairs from the late of the 19th century in walnut with lyre-shaped backrest, hand-carved. Fixing with wooden nails; spring seat covered in antique pink fabric in good condition. Design of the chairs attributable to the Bottega Vincenzo Cadorin About Asolo Between '800 and' 900 Asolo seems to affirm its character as a place of beauty, privileged residence and cultural tradition, attracting illustrious personalities, intellectuals and artists, Italian and foreign: among them Eugene Benson, Henry James and Carlo Scarpa, Marius Pictor, Filippo De Pisis, Igor Strawinsky, Hernest Hemingway. Above all, three women Caterina Cornaro, Eleonora Duse, Freya Stark had an intense bond with the city. Travelers, enterprising, nonconformists and internationally renowned intellectuals contributed to determining the very image of Asolo as an ideal of beauty and a place of choice. -Caterina Cornaro, former queen of Cyprus, in exile in Asolo since 1489, was able to create a splendid Renaissance court in the castle that still bears her name today. -Eleonora Duse, divine of the international theater, came to rest in Asolo from the fatigue of the stage and she too chose to be buried there. -Freya Stark, explorer, writer and photographer, had Asolo as a privileged destination for her return from her travels and she too was buried here, in the cemetery of S. Anna. However, there is a large number of artists and intellectuals who lived or were seduced by Asolo: Pietro Bembo wrote the "Asolani" during the years of his stay with Queen Cornaro; the nature in which she is immersed relives in the paintings of Giorgione, Lotto, Bassano; the grace of the landscape inspired the genius of Palladio, Massari, Canova; Giosuè Carducci called it "the city of a hundred horizons"; the poet Robert Browning told in his verses the essence of living "Asolando", Gian Francesco Malipiero composed the "Poemi Asolani" for piano.
