What is Venetian Furniture

The environments for which it was created. Now close to sunset, Venice in the 18th century is more than ever the international center of worldly wealth and pleasures. Princes and sovereigns stay there for a long time staying in beautiful palaces on the Grand Canal, guests contested between parties, banquets and masked dances. The cheerful Venetian society, was the first to follow fashion French abandoning the heaviness of the Baroque; Parisian fashion influences the lifestyle that becomes more attentive to sociability, to the craving for fun, to the aesthetic taste that clearly takes all particular characteristics. The palaces become places of reception, gallant meetings, places to share important moments, moments dedicated to music or diplomatic meetings between the nobility.

To offer the Venetians these luxurious, cheerful and harmonious environments, a series of artists collaborate, skilled craftsmen who, after long preparation and internship, give free rein to their creativity that manages to reach incredible levels. Their work created wonderful environments, full of charm; the ceilings painted by Tiepolo or Guardi are framed by very rich stuccoes that descend on the walls to re-square murano mirrors and then meet in the boiserie where the furniture rests, undisputed protagonists. Throughout Europe, the fashion of the time, with a look at the East, interpreted the art of lacquered each in its own way. In Venice, the “depentore” invents a technique that sums up the charm of the exotic and the flair typical of the people of the Venetian lagoon, undoubtedly excelling over the other interpretations.

faster and did not require great skill. The process merges on the replacement of the painted and lacquered design with cutouts of chalcographies and woodcuts in color or black and white then colored by the decorators; these engravings were glued to the surfaces and framed with hand-drawn or cut out of other prints and covered with a light lacquer. Paper-painted evidently required less skill than hand-drawn ones, but often the beauty of the chalcographies and the expertise of the “depentori”, led to results that could stand the comparison. In Venice, today, you can admire some lacquered furnishings at the Museum of Ca’ Rezzonico that collects some important furniture coming from the Calbo Crotta palace on the Grand Canal. In addition, some specimens can be found at the Museum of the Sforzesco Castle and in many Italian Civic Museums.

Personally today, we inherit the passion for Venetian lacquer from four generations of antique dealers particularly attentive to this type of research and diffusion; the collector, who approaches this type of furnishings, finalizes his purchase to possess an object of great importance and artistic interest to be combined with others of different connotations. Venetian lacquered furniture, whether it is an armchair, a dresser, a tray or a mirror is searched and seen with the eye of those who know how to look at a work of art and not a single piece of furniture however luxurious it is. Surely the rarefaction of objects and the evolution of taste has led us to change the point of view that does not detract from, indeed adds importance to what remains of wonderful “ideas” of our predecessors, unaware of their unparalleled uniqueness.
