About the Item

An elegant Venetian dressing table by Fratelli Testolini, dating from the 1930s, distinguished by its refined proportions, richly carved mirror frame, and sophisticated cream lacquer and gilded finish. The lower cabinet is lacquered in a soft ivory-cream shade, delicately accented by gilded moldings, handles, a carved apron, and cabriole-style legs. The large vertical mirror is framed by an elaborate carved and gilded surround, featuring scrollwork with a plant motif, openwork details, and an ornate crest that gives the piece a distinctly theatrical Venetian presence. The contoured front of the cabinet, with its gently curved central section, creates an elegant silhouette and enhances the decorative rhythm of the composition. The light lacquered finish gives the piece a particularly luminous quality, while the gilded details highlight its sculptural contours and decorative carvings. Professionally restored, lacquered, and gilded, the dressing table has been carefully restored to a highly decorative condition while preserving its period character. Originally designed as a dressing table or vanity, it can also be used today as an elegant piece for a dressing room, a bedroom console, or a decorative piece for an entryway, a luxury boutique, or a sophisticated hospitality space. Recovered from a private family home in Chioggia, Venice, the dressing table has been part of the A&MYART Collection since 2015. Its generous mirror, refined cream-and-gold color scheme, and unmistakable Venetian decorative style make it a particularly attractive piece for both classical and contemporary interiors.
