Observe the last photo of this card, which is a fantasy computer simulation where the work is imagined in a high-end modern furnishing context. A stunning "modernity", luminosity and abstraction emerge for a work conceived over two centuries ago. With a great touch of class and elegance to the whole. The high Viennese antique cabinet making of the classicism period (1770 - 1830), with its sober and minimal elegance, with its precious and light essences, is very linked to the lines of contemporary modern furniture
