About the Item

An exceptional and rare set of six Venetian Chippendale dining chairs in hand-carved solid walnut. This set represents the pinnacle of late 19th-century Venetian high craftsmanship, born from the prestigious collaboration between the renowned merchant firm Fratelli Testolini (active in Venice since 1847) and the celebrated sculptor and woodcarver Vincenzo Cadorin. Exhibiting the distinctive "Barocchetto Veneziano" (Venetian Neo-Rococo) aesthetic, the chairs feature masterfully hand-pierced, sinuous openwork splats encased within beautifully molded shaped crest rails. The two front legs showcase the textbook cabriole curvature, meticulously embellished with foliate motifs and elegant scrolls carved onto the knees, terminating in distinctive scroll feet. The rear legs are sleek and subtly splayed outward to ensure impeccable stability. The set has undergone a meticulous, museum-quality restoration. The solid walnut frames have been carefully cleaned and polished to revive the wood's warm patina and depth. Following traditional upholstery methods, the seats have been fully rebuilt utilizing hand-tied steel coils (springs) over jute webbing, ensuring superior elastic comfort and structural longevity. The chairs have been freshly upholstered in a luxurious damask fabric, featuring a central sky-blue and white floral motif, elegantly flanked by cream and gold geometric borders, and flawlessly finished with a matching two-tone braided trim. Part of the prestigious A&MYART Collection, inventory code MA P83. A certificate of authenticity and provenance can be provided upon request. Condition Report: Excellent antique condition. Fully restored and freshly upholstered. Structure is perfectly solid, and the walnut shows a beautiful luster.
