Very Rare Valentino Panclera Besarel Carved Bench Settee Sofa Andrea Brustolon

About the Item

Wimbledon-Furniture is delighted to offer for sale this very rare finely carved Venetian Baroque style figural walnut throne settee or bench, attributed to Valentino Panciera Besarel (Venice, 1829-1902) in the manner of Andrea Brustolon (1662-1732). This piece is in simply amazing condition throughout, it’s a very early model This impressively carved walnut throne settee has a raked padded back above a stuffed over seat. The arms are carved to the elbow with recumbent putti figures looking skyward, carved almost in the round and supported by foliate sprays. The exuberantly carved neoclassical figures supporting the carved foliage arms are simply works of art, the side stretchers carved with scrolls meeting at the centre in a cartouche. The vigorous Baroque style of carving echoes the style of Andrea Brustolon (1662–1732), an important sculptor and wood carver who made furniture for many of the great Venetian Palaces. In terms of condition the timber has been lightly cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished, the leather upholstery is fine Italian heritage hide, it will most likely be dyed a stunning cigar or whisky brown colour in the next few weeks, if you prefer to keep it as grey you will need to buy it before then Dimensions: Height 106.5cm Width 143cm Depth 83cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
