Venetian neo-renaissance octagonal walnut table by testolini freres, venice, 18th century. Table with structure in turned and hand-carved solid walnut , with the top veneered with walnut root and blond walnut with star-shaped inlay. The table expresses all the refined taste of the period and the masterful carving skill of the testolini & salviati cabinetmaker. Its shape and elegance make it suitable and embellish any setting, both modern and ancient.
the table is completely intact and original and was only wax polished by us
testolini brothers-testolini freres-testolini & salviati
fratelli testolini saw its birth as a carpentry-cabinetmaking company; its owners were not ordinary personalities and immediately began to introduce new fashions in furnishings. The period chosen was not among the most propitious - shortly thereafter there would be the uprisings of 1848 and the famous revolt of manin and the republic of san marco -, but the testolini were not discouraged and serenely continued their production, seizing immediately the fresh artistic eclecticism that invaded the world from the mid-19th century, starting to conceive and produce original and imaginative models.
venice increasingly became a destination for rich international tourism and the testolini brothers began to diversify and expand their production, covering all branches of applied arts. Towards the end of the century their production was very varied: furniture, furnishing accessories, porcelain, textiles, lace, wrought iron, sculptures in both marble and wood, mosaics, micromosaics, glass, embossed metal objects and photographic material.
