Bergere Louis XVI Armchair Seating by Testolini Freres in Carved Walnut

About the Item

no. 3 Louis XVI-style bergere seats by TESTOLINI FRERES Venise from the late 1800s , early 1900s , in hand-carved walnut, with spring seats. Polished with shellac and wax. ABOUT TESTOLINI BROTHERS-TESTOLINI FRERES-TESTOLINI & SALVIATI Fratelli Testolini saw its birth as a carpentry-cabinetmaking company; its owners were not ordinary personalities and immediately began to introduce new fashions in furnishings. The period chosen was not among the most propitious - shortly thereafter there would be the uprisings of 1848 and the famous revolt of Manin and the Republic of San Marco -, but the Testolini were not discouraged and serenely continued their production, seizing immediately the fresh artistic eclecticism that invaded the world from the mid-19th century, starting to conceive and produce original and imaginative models. Venice increasingly became a destination for rich international tourism and the Testolini Brothers began to diversify and expand their production, covering all branches of applied arts. Towards the end of the century their production was very varied: furniture, furnishing accessories, porcelain, textiles, lace, wrought iron, sculptures in both marble and wood, mosaics, micromosaics, glass, embossed metal objects and photographic material.
