This unusual boudoir furniture demonstrates the quality and invention that Venetian artisans were capable of in the early 19th century. The design of this furniture matured in the cultural climate preceding the construction, in 1830, of the famous Pedrocchi café, which was furnished with rooms of different styles including a Turkish room. The locks are still in the 18th-century style, as is the antique patina of the bottoms. All elements that place the execution of this furniture in the early years of the 19th century.
This furniture is published on page 62 in "Arredi dell'Ottocento", Artioli editore, of which I am an author.
