A SET OF THREE VENETIAN ARMCHAIRS (LOTS 82-83) These impressive armchairs, of imposing scale and richly carved with shells and foliage, typify the opulence of Ventian chair-making. Venetian armchairs of similar scale and richness of ornament are illustrated in S. Levy, Il Mobile Veneziano del Settecento, Milan, vol.I, 1964, figs. 5 and 12. Another closely related armchair in the Museo Civico, Milan, is illustrated in W. Odom, A History of Italian Furniture, New York, 1967, vol. II, p. 187, fig. 224.
