Dimensions: 23 1/2" Deep x 57" Wide x 38" High Bears the maker's mark on the back: Fratelli Catteneo About the maker: The company is from the historic Province of Como, home of highly skilled old world artisans, the exceptionally executed 18th century antique reproduction was hand-crafted in the mid-20th century, of very fine quality craftsmanship, detailing and solid wooden construction. Established in Cantù, Italy shortly after the Second World War, the company Fratelli Cattaneo is now widespread Italian company abroad and mainly known for the uniqueness of the products that it can offer. The origins of the development of a successful company is the work and commitment of three generations of the Cattaneo’s family, first of all Luigi Cattaneo, who founded the company that bore his name in 1947. In the 50's the company moved to a more central area of Cantù, the seat of an old family weaving and the first employees were hired. In the same years the company is associated with the “Consorzio Esposizione Mobili” of Cantù, so-called “Cem”, an association of 200 craftsmen set up in 1949 and, thanks to this consortium for Luigi Cattaneo presents the first major opportunity to work for foreign clients. At the same time the space begins to be limited and in 1952 the company was again transferred, this time in an even bigger space, and the simultaneous entry into the company of the sons was hired a new employee; born Cattaneo Fratelli or Fratelli Cattaneo.
