Among the rainforests and mysterious lands of Borneo springs the Makassar, a fine black ebony with brown streaks: the quintessence of nature and beauty.

And it is precisely Makassar that stars in the elliptical table and console signed by SALDA artisans: pieces inspired by the 1950s and shaped by hand with infinite skill.

Complex shapes are a challenge our craftsmen are not afraid of: the columnar stand is the distinguishing mark of these pieces and it is covered with liquid bronze lacquer.

It takes more than a month and the work of several professionals – carvers, cabinet makers, lacquer workers, vanishers – to create a unique piece. The latest jewel of Salda’s cabinet making, the ultimate in luxury.

Customize your piece: console, elliptical table, round table, table with twin pillars. The choice is yours.

Charming and with an antique flavour, the shellac lacquer antiqued finish never ceases to surprise and attract the eye. Characteristic of the shellac lacquer is the brilliance which, as a standard, is 60 gloss. A yellowish brown bituminous film is spread over the colour, which avoids the colour being too homogeneous accentuating its chiaroscuro.

The stripping carried out on prominent surfaces and on shapes and carvings allows the colour of the wood to emerge.
Let’s follow all the steps of this fascinating process together!

Step 1 – The lacquered furniture arrives in the workshop. The stripping stage begins, a treatment that is done with a solvent and gives the furniture an antique effect

Step 2 – Through a dye the color of the furniture changes from optical white to a softer white, a cream shade that gives an additional sense of antiquity

Step 3 – Finally, with a darker dye, the antiquing is enhanced on all the details.

The furniture is now ready to be delivered!

A Century after the birth of Art Deco, we have decided to reinterpret one of the most exciting, rich and glamorous periods in the history of design by creating a unique piece, with a sumptuous yet measured style.

Here is our exclusive Art Deco cabinet, characterized by contrasting geometric shapes, elegant bright rays and rich glares made with precious materials such as Makassar ebony, mother-of-pearl and shiny brass.

The decorative elements of the early 20th Century avant garde have seen a return in the last years and inspired the entire design of the cabinet, conceived as an aristocratic symbol of the early 20th Century, the elite of an industrialised society aware of the appeal of the artistic avant garde, whilst still wanting the luxury and elegance of the past.

We love to reinvent the classic pieces by mixing styles, colors and inspirations, but sometimes an ancient romantic vein prevails and leads us to the pure classic style, the sober and elegant authentic French taste …

In these moments our choices colors fall on colors rich in history and meaning like the French Blue, one of the most refined nuances in history. French Blue has been used in the heraldry of the French monarchy since the 12th century, with the golden fleurs-de-lis of the kings always set on a blue heraldic azure background, thus the other name “Royal Blue”.

French blue is a shade of azure, but often mistakenly used for greyish-blue colors. A delicate and sophisticated nuance, perfect to decorate a contemporary style private retreat, a restful bedroom in which shades of grey, precious Louis XVI style handmade carvings and golden accents create an atmosphere of quiet and noble beauty.
