Andrea Brustolon, (b. July 20, 1662, Belluno, Republic of Venice [now in Italy]—d. Oct. 25, 1732), Italian wood-carver, known for his furniture in the Venetian Baroque style, characterized by extravagant curves and lavish ornamentation.
Brustolon went to Venice in 1677 for a year of training, moving to Rome in 1678. Returning to Venice in 1680, he engaged in decorative carving for several churches and created his outstanding works, the furniture for the Venier di San Vio and Correr di San Simeone families; these walnut and ebony pieces are decorated with elaborately carved figures. His furniture included the use of figural sculptures that take the place of front legs and armrest supports and columns, inspired by his experience of Bernini's Cathedra Petri.
