A true masterpiece of 18th-century Venetian art, this bench embodies all the theatricality and refinement of the palaces of the Serenissima. Its carved and gilded wooden frame, with its sinuous curves, reflects elegance in an exotic style typical of the Rococo taste.
The history of the Cassapanca dates back to the Middle Ages, when the traditional chest, or cassone, was fitted with a high, paneled back, becoming the direct ancestor of the modern sofa.
An elegant fan-shaped table, made around 1900 in the refined style of Maison Alphonse Giroux, renowned for its luxurious creations and pronounced taste for decorative exoticism.

“The confidant, also called a conversation chair, vis-à-vis chair, or tête-à-tête chair, is a double armchair in an S shape that allows two people to talk without having to turn their heads. This piece of furniture is an invention of the Second Empire. It can also be triple, or even multiple, with several S-shaped chairs joined or aligned; this is then called an indiscreet chair.
The confidant was very fashionable during the reign of the French leader Napoleon III. It is a typical piece of furniture found in the “boudoirs and antechambers of power.”
