Pair of “Grotto” chairs, Venice, Italy, 1950s. Carved wood. They show traces of the original label. Measurements: 93 x 38 x 40 cm (x2). Pair of “Grotto” chairs made of carved wood in Venice during the 1950s. These pieces stand out for their organic and sculptural design, inspired by the forms of nature and the Venetian decorative tradition linked to the marine world. The “grotto” style has its origins in the grottoes—artificial caves created as ornamental pavilions by the European nobility between the 18th and 19th centuries. From this fascination with the natural and the fantastical emerged a decorative style applied to furniture, particularly popular in Venice in the late 19th century and early decades of the 20th century, featuring pieces that reinterpret shells, dolphins, and marine motifs in an artisanal style.
