Important Neoclassical living room  Translated
Description:
Important Neoclassical living room composed of: Six chairs A pair of armchairs A daybed Six neoclassical lacquered and gilded gondola chairs. Group of six gondola chairs in walnut, in original ivory lacquer with wooden floral carvings on the backrest band and rosettes on the four sides of the seats. The front legs end in exquisitely crafted zoomorphic feet, note the refined detail behind the rear leg of each chair. The front legs are saber-shaped and the chairs are profiled with gilded carvings that give an effect of depth and lightness. Some minor restoration. Northern Italy, probably Lombardy, late 17th century - early 19th century. A pair of neoclassical lacquered and gilded armchairs. A pair of very elegant gondola armchairs "en suite" with the chairs, with the same characteristics, therefore, are in ivory lacquered walnut, carved and highlighted in gold, closed on the sides by fabric, a typical model of the late 18th century - early 19th century period, with rosettes at the corners of the seats and with the same floral and foliage carvings and applications on the backrest bands. The armchairs have gilded lion heads with open mouths as terminal elements of the armrests, recalling the zoomorphic feet, which have the same particular detail as the chairs. The gold and lacquer are in original patina. Some minor conservative and integrative restoration has been done. Northern Italy, probably Lombardy, late 18th century-early 19th century. Neoclassical lacquered and gilded center daybed. Very refined center daybed "en suite" with the six chairs and the pair of armchairs, in walnut and ivory lacquer, crossed on the front, side and back, by delightful raised friezes of flowers and twigs with leaves. The daybed is entirely traversed by carvings and gilded profiles in solid gold leaf that define the sinuous lines, creating an effect of depth and further lightness. The details of the lacquered zoomorphic feet resting on gilded spheres, surrounded by always gilded tufts of hair and moved in trompe l'oeil, as occurs in the inner part of the paw, are quite extraordinary. The balance between strength and delicacy of the whole is perfect. Some restoration and integration. Northern Italy, probably Lombardy, late 18th century-early 19th century. 197cm x 76cm x H.90cm  Translated
