1980s Green Canopy Bed and Chest of Drawers Dark Lacquer for Sormani, Italy
By Sormani, Davide Pizzigoni & Manolo De Giorgi, Marco Comolli
Located in Arosio, IT
Canopy bed
An unusual canopy bed, named Fauno, manufactured by Sormani in very dark green (almost black) glossy lacquer, with 4 columns in grey nextel and a metal canopy in light apple green. The bed has multifunctional structures all around: two trays that work as night tables, one front tray that works as further support (for a TV-screen, for instance), and a back shelf of 17cm (6" 11/16) for your favorite books.
All "trays" are adjustable as seen in pictures and can be also adjusted in height.
The bed includes a wooden bed slat (see picture) with a metal frame, and a provisional mattress, while you buy your own favorite. Mattress size should be cm 160x200x20-25 (63 in × 79 in x ca. 9" 27/32).
Size of bed: H 225 x W 175 x D 235 cm (7' 4" 37/64 x 5' 8" 57/64 x 7' 8" 33/64)
Size of trays: cm 47 x 32 (1' 6" 1/2 x 1' 19/32).
Height of bed (without mattress) cm 40 (1' 3" 3/4)
Commode
Chest of drawers in very dark green lacquer (the famous 20-gloss silky mat lacquer of Sormani) with six spacious drawers: two in elegant salmon lacquer, standing out with a colorful touch and four in dark green. Please note the skillful shape of each drawer front: a triangular shape with a recessed, convex upper part. In its simplicity, a real work of craftsmanship for an Industrial manufacturer such as Sormani of Arosio, Italy.
Size of commode: cm H 78 W 160 D 52 (H 2' 6" 45/64 x W 5' 2" 63/64 x D 1' 8" 15/32)
Perfect for the entrance or the bedroom of a sleek city apartment or even for a contemporary mountain hut.
The piece is in very good conditions. Just normal wear and tear in some parts.

Extraordinary Polychrome Paint Decorated Venetian Rococo Bombe Commode C1870
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This extraordinary Venetian Rococo bombe commode, dating to circa 1870, is a true masterpiece of Italian decorative arts. Lavishly polychrome paint decorated, the commode features a beautifully aged palette of soft aquamarine, cream, and gilt highlights, adorned with exquisite hand-painted floral motifs across its bombe-shaped drawers, sides, and top. The graceful Rococo form, with its curvaceous silhouette and cabriole legs, perfectly captures the opulence and romance of 18th-century Venetian design while showcasing the artistry of 19th-century craftsmanship.
The commode’s three spacious bombe drawers are richly detailed with scrolling gilt accents and ornate hardware, providing both elegance and practicality. The top surface is equally striking, featuring a central floral bouquet framed with scrolling cartouches, making this piece a stunning focal point in any room. Its distressed patina enhances its authenticity, reflecting over a century of refined European taste and charm.

Cassettone Bureau-Chest Bambocci 16century Italian Renaissance Walnut Lombardy
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
AN EXCEPTIONAL MUSEUM QUALITY, ITALIAN, RENAISANCE WALNUT CASSETTONE WITH A FITTED BUREAU IN THE UPPER PART & EXCEPTIONAL BAMBOCCI CARVING, LOMBARDY
- This exceptionally rare, museum quality, piece of early furniture was conceived and crafted as an artwork of the finest quality of its time. Throughout time it has been a luxurious, statement piece which has protected it, and fortunately it has survived in virtually, original condition.
- This magnificent cassettone exudes the character and quality of the finest, late-Renaissance furniture.
Northern Italian Renaissance furniture often had the sides, legs or angles, 'a Bambocci', incorporating carved figures which were considered unique sculptures in their own right.
- The putti on this cassettone are beautifully carved and of sculptural quality. Each angel has one arm raised to heaven, a poignant touch.
- The lion’s paw feet are a classical feature and make a great statement.
- This cassettone was conceived to have visual impact through the quality of the carving, as well as being very practical with the writing compartment fitted in the top part.
- It has survived in very original condition with a few small repairs and losses, and the colour and patina are warm and lustrous.
- This cassettone is illustrated Illustrated in C. Alberici, Il Mobile Lombardo, Milan, 1969, p. 45, one of the seminal works on Lombardy furniture, and has been in two renowned collections.
The hinged top in two sections faced with a solid moulded edge. The front part has a fall front and opens to reveal a writing compartment. The fall front retains its original lock and is concealed with a false drawer which is above three drawers. All with moulded panels, escutcheons and retaining the original iron handles. The front ends have exceptional, bambocci, carved putti raising their arms to heaven above trailing foliage. Standing on magnificent lion's-head carved feet. The sides are panelled. Exceptional original colour and patina.
Literature : Illustrated in C. Alberici, Il Mobile Lombardo, Milan, 1969, p. 45. A Gonzalez-Palacois, Il mobile in Liguria, Genova, 1996 illustrates related pieces
