VENETIAN SALON SUITE TESTOLINI, 19. CENTURY

6.800,00 €

Venetian salon suite, crafted by the prestigious Testolini, late 19th century.

An opulent salon suite, entirely hand-carved from walnut wood. The set comprises a three-seat bench and two corner armchairs, all richly adorned with masterfully executed decorative details. The original damask upholstery further enhances the sense of luxury and authenticity. Such suites were commissioned for the highest social classes, where furniture served not only for comfort but also as a symbol of status.

Furniture from this renowned Venetian workshop later attracted collectors and global icons alike – notably, a pair of such armchairs furnished the home of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, further attesting to the timeless appeal and collectible value of this type of piece.

A rare opportunity to acquire a piece that would effortlessly grace the interiors of the greatest icons.

Their richly carved works were created for aristocracy and the upper classes, prized for their exceptional craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and refined design. Today, their creations stand as symbols of impeccable taste and collector’s exclusivity.

ART NOUVEAU MIRROR

390,00 €

Hand Mirror from the Art Nouveau Period.

A hand mirror, once used by a lady to check her appearance, is now a unique and beautifully crafted piece of art. The mirror is shaped like a pond, with a girl sitting by it, gazing into the water and pinning a flower in her hair. The delicate details on the mirror, such as grass blades, water lilies, and a frog, are surprising. Due to the strong patina of the mirror, it becomes an even more special piece, creating the illusion of real water and mud in the pond. Such mirrors are a rarity today and are highly sought after by collectors. Nowadays, this mirror will certainly no longer serve its original purpose but will be an excellent decorative piece that will inspire us with its playfulness and bring a smile to our faces. Dimensions: 16 x 13 x 7 cm Weight: 400 g The mirror is in excellent condition, bearing the marks of time, which only adds to its charm and enchantment.

DEATH MASK

750,00 €

The creation of death masks is one of the oldest sculptural techniques, serving as a memory of the deceased or as a model for creating portraits. They are made by taking an impression of the face of the deceased in wax or plaster, usually a few hours after death.

The particular death mask you have is original and made of plaster, depicting an unknown man. It is an unusual addition to any room, carrying significant symbolic meaning (Memento mori). Death masks are undoubtedly one of the most intriguing traditions of humanity, a way for people to preserve the memory of the deceased. The most famous death masks come from Egypt, where they were buried with the deceased. Similarly, ancient Roman masks made of wax are known, used as a model for carving into tombstones. This tradition continues for centuries until the end of the Middle Ages when there was a shift in the material used, and masks began to be made of plaster. During this time, masks started to be used in funeral ceremonies and were later kept in libraries, museums, and universities. Death masks were not only made for royal and noble figures but also for prominent individuals such as poets, philosophers, and playwrights. Similar to ancient Rome, these death masks were often used as references for portraits, sculptures, busts, or engravings depicting the deceased. Dimensions: 26 x 22 cm Weight: 780 g The mask is in excellent condition and has an iron hook for wall mounting.

On this occasion, he met Dino Gavina. This first meeting was a turning point in his career and the beginning of a fruitful collaboration and deep friendship. Before returning to Japan, Kazuhide Takahama designed Dino Gavina's Naeko sofa. While staying in Japan, he was a professor at the university and curator for architectural and design projects, but still maintained contacts with Gavina, who finally persuaded him to move to Italy. There were numerous collaborations with Italian design companies such as Gavina, Simon, Paradisoterrestre, B&B, Sirrah (later incorporated by Guzzini), to name just a few. His professional activity was not limited to designing furniture and lighting: he designed interior and exterior spaces and oversaw the renovation of private residences and public works.
