Large 19th-century Venetian painted and lacquered bench.

Made of softwood (poplar) with beautiful floral decorations. In the center, a noble family crest with two rampant lions on a red field and, below a band, a six-pointed star that dominates the large contoured back. Decorated with poor lacquer according to the Venetian compositional models of the Louis XIV period. This piece, with great impact and decorative strength, has a strong Baroque and ornate character, accentuated by the richness of the paintings. The two reversible seats conceal an internal compartment. Italy - Venice - 19th century Provenance: Italy
