Lot Essay

Egisto Gaiani spent his entire life in Florence. He taught at the Academy there from 1857 and set up his own workshop which became one of the most significant in Florence during the latter half of the nineteenth century. A wood sculptor and carver, he undertook figurative and ornamental decorations and single items of furniture in the high- renaissance style.
