About the Item
Pair of sofas in carved walnut and lacquered chinoiserie, Venice, early 18th century.

Each sofa consists of three seats with backs called pattona: it is a backrest to day, with in the center a vertical folder of elongated shape and fashioned, which provides a large surface to decorate with motifs often taken from the East. Also in this case the backrests, armrests and legs are in carved wood, lacquered with dark background and embossed figures with polychrome and gold chinoiserie motifs. The arched legs and moves are joined together by mixed crossbars.
It is quite rare to be able to find on the antique market sofas in pairs. This feature, combined with the elegance and great decorative that distinguish these sofas make them particularly interested. They can be easily inserted in environments of ancient or modern taste and can be exhibited in pairs or individually in a living room, in a study or in an entrance, interspersed with tables or consoles.

18th Century, Pair of Italian Rococò Carved Giltwood Benches
Located in IT
18th Century, pair of Italian Rococo carved giltwood benches.
This elegant pair of two-seater benches was built in the second half of the 18th century in Rome, Italy. The structure, in richly carved and gilded wood, has the characteristics of the Baroque period.
The band under the seat has a mixed profile and is carved with rocaille motifs and rich floral decoration in relief in the central part. The four legs, curved and moved, have on the uprights the same carvings and in the terminal part of the foot emerges a scroll. The rear uprights, carved with curled end, are higher than the seat, in order to slender the image of the benches vertically.
The seat is lined with velvet from a later period.
These benches can be exhibited in pairs or individually in entrances or corridors, in living rooms and studios or in a room at the foot of the bed. They can also be placed below large paintings. Very decorative, bright and graceful, they are suitable both in contexts characterized by antique and modern furniture.
