  • A Pair of Italian Console Tables Expert Adviser's Statement
    Case 4, 2011-12 : A pair of Italian console tables Expert Adviser’s Statement Reviewing Committee Secretary’s note: Please note that the illustrations referred to have not been reproduced on the Arts Council England website EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of the Item A pair of console tables, the tops of marquetry, the bases of carved boxwood. Each 90cm high, 171.5cm wide, and 87cm deep. The tops by Lucio de Lucci (fl. 1680-1700) and the bases attributed to Andrea Brustolon (1662-1732). Made in Venice in around 1688. The tables have undergone restoration in the past but the condition is good. The condition of the marquetry is remarkably good and the bases are structurally sound with only minor losses. 2. Context The tables appear to have been made to celebrate the Venetian conquest of the Morea, or Greek Peloponnese, between 1685 and 1688. They form part of a group of six tables by Lucio and Antonio de Lucci depicting events in the re- conquest of Eastern European territory from the Turkish Empire. The exact relationship between these works and the original circumstances of their commission are unknown at present. It is possible, however, that they were made for the commander of the Venetian forces during the Morean War, Doge Francesco Morosini (1619-94). The present pair were probably sold to the 5th Duke of Buccleuch during the 1830s and left the Buccleuch collection in 1971. 3. Waverley Criteria The tables fall slightly short of criterion 1 since the although the Buccleuch collection was and remains exceptional, the tables are not positively known to have formed a major component of a recorded decorative scheme.

  • A Carved Giltwood Piano Stool Circa: Circa 1860 71 X 73 X 62 Cm (28 X 28³/ Inches) Carved Giltwood Italy 1860
    In the Manner of Andrea Brustolon (1662 - 1732) A Carved Giltwood Piano Stool Circa: Circa 1860 71 x 73 x 62 cm (28 x 28³/ inches) Carved Giltwood Italy 1860 A Carved Giltwood Piano Stool, in the Manner of Andrea Brustolon, carved with four expressive cherubs resting on scrolled volutes which extend above the upholstered seat. The apron is carved with acanthus and scrolls framing diapered panels and raised on four scroll legs. Andrea Brustolon (b. 1662 - d. 1732) was a Venetian sculptor and carver known for his exuberant Baroque style furniture and devotional sculptures. He trained in the local tradition at Belluno in the Venetian terraferma and in the studio of the Genoese sculptor Filippo Parodi who carried out commissions at Padua and Venice. His high Baroque style was undoubtedly influenced by two years spent in Rome from 1678 - 1680 where he was exposed to the sculpture of Bernini and his contemporaries. The first phase of his working career was spent in Venice, 1680-1685. His furniture including armchairs with figural sculptures that take the place of front legs and armrest supports were inspired by his experience of Bernini's Cathedra Petri. His style inspired many imitators, both contemporary, and later. The Venetian sculptor Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902) made upholstered armchairs in the Brustolon manner from the 1860s, and this elegant and playful stool may be by his hand. Literature: Biasuz G, & Buttignon M.G. Andrea Brustolon, (Instituto Veneto Arti Grafiche), 1969. Artist description: Andrea Brustolon (b. 1662 - d. 1732) was a Venetian sculptor and carver known for his exuberant Baroque style furniture and devotional sculptures.
