專家說明


This set of seat-furniture (lots 82-83) is part of a larger suite almost certainly from a Milanese Royal Palace. One sofa from the suite is now in the Royal Palace of Stupinigi, another at La Fenice Opera theatre in Venice, and a third example at the Villa napoleonica dei Mulini, Porto Ferraio, Elba island (illustrated in E. Colle, Il Mobile Impero In Italia, Milan, 1998, p. 260, pl. 83.). A larger divano and chairs from the same suite are illustrated in situ in U. Ojetti, Raccolta Pisa, 1937, vol. 2, pl. CCII.
