Catalogue Note
Angiolo Barbetti (Siena 1805-Florence 1873), a skilled carver, designer and decorator established a flourishing atelier in Florence producing a large range of carved ivory, ebony and walnut furniture including frames, cornices, candelabra and much larger commissions as lavishly inlaid cabinets and tables. A regular award winner in the international fairs and exhibitions, Barbetti was even selected to represent Tuscany at the London International Exhibition of 1851.
