Verified profile

The poor lacquer is a technique used mainly in the Lombardy-Veneto area during the eighteenth century, which aimed to economically imitate the expensive lacquered furniture imported from the East. The surface of the piece of furniture was in fact decorated with figures cut from prints, colored and skilfully arranged to form more or less elaborate compositions. The surface was then covered and protected with layers of lacquer. The scenes that cover this piece of furniture are inspired by the themes of hunting and fishing. The coping, or the upper crown in carved and gilded wood, is probably a later addition and suggests a Venetian or Austrian production. The piece of furniture is called Casanova's trumeau because Count Guglielmo Coronini kept part of his Casanovian collection, or rather the oldest editions of the writings of the famous Venetian adventurer, which constitute one of the most valuable components of the rich Coronini library.
