About the Item
18th Century, Italian Pair of Gilt Wood Louis XV Stools
This fine pair of stools was made in Naples, Italy, around the middle of the eighteenth century, in the Louis XV era.
Each stool is carved in wood and has bands and legs moved and arched, adorned with embossed elements of rocaille taste with plant-like elements. Very particular the asymmetrical decoration of the band under the seat that gives movement and refinement to the whole. The feet end in a curl supporting a graceful and polite set. The underside band is richly sculpted on three sides, while on the fourth the wooden structure is intentionally left smooth to be able to attach the seats to walls without affecting the ornate.
The wood has a gilding with silver leaf (Mecca). The Mecca is a type of gilding performed on silver leaf for this to assume the appearance and the preciousness of the gold leaf. Mecca is a paint from the ancient recipe that was jealously guarded in the shops. It involves the use of sandracca rubber and gutta rubber in alcohol, dragon blood and other ingredients that, in mixture with each other, contribute to the different chromatic elements of the mecca.
Seat upholstery in modern fabric.
The two stools, of good executive quality, are very decorative and suitable for insertion both in environments with antique furniture and next to modern furniture. To be placed against the walls, they can be designed in a living room, in pairs or individually, next to consoles or dressers, or they are perfect in an entrance hall or in a hallway.

- 18th Century, Italian Louis XV Wood Center TableLocated in IT18th century, Italian Louis XV wood center table This elegant and refined center cabinet was made in Turin around the mid-18th century. Characteristic of the high Piedmontese cabinet making, for this piece of furniture, a veneer was chosen with the particular wood, applied on the piece of furniture with a sophisticated game of mirrors and patterns of the wood grain. The furniture has a shaped and wavy top, and the wooden essence creates a chromatic game called "a occhio di pernice" (partridge eye). On the front it consists of two drawers and a compartment protected by two doors. The opening system of the doors is sliding, very rare and difficult to achieve. The mouthpieces of the locks are in chiseled bronze and gold, as well as the tips of the four legs that are arched and graceful, typical of the Baroque. This cabinet is perfect for any room and can also be exposed in the center of a room thanks to its finish on all four sides. It is also suitable alongside modern and antique furniture.Category
