VENETIAN SALON SUITE TESTOLINI, 19. CENTURY

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.
