Description
Fabulous pair of carved wooden shell arm chairs by coveted Italian designers Bartolozzi & Maioli
with original patina.
Bottega d'Arte Bartolozzi e Maioli was born in 1938 from the casual encounter of Fiorenzo Bartolozzi from Florence and Guiseppe Maioli from Ravenna. A long-standing, deep friendship and unspoken artistic understanding developed between these two artists, who started working together in increasingly prestigious professional endeavors.
This harmonious dynamic brought them success in their first project: the complete renovation of the Choir and Sacristy of Montecassino, both destroyed by air raids during World War II. Prominent commissions soon followed, not only in the art world but also in the political, cinema, and literary realms. Such commissions propelled them onto the international stage, first successfully working in the United States, then creating lavish interiors for the Emirates Palace and several government buildings in Abu Dhabi, and finally returning to Italy to work on the Quirinale Palace in Rome and Mediobanca in Milan.
