De Luxe Catalogue of the Rare Artistic Properties Collected by the Connoisseur Signor Raoul Tolentino: With an Introduction by the Eminent Author, Editor and Expert Seymour De Ricci (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from De Luxe Catalogue of the Rare Artistic Properties Collected by the Connoisseur Signor Raoul Tolentino: With an Introduction by the Eminent Author, Editor and Expert Seymour De Ricci
Unfortunately for future collectors, the supply of Gothic and Renaissance furniture, long since exhausted in France, England and Germany, is now rapidly failing in Italy. Much as he might desire to do so, Signor Tolentino could not to-day duplicate the collection he is offering to American buyers. Even now, for many articles, the prospective buyer arrives just ten years too late. A well-known fact fully corroborates this statement. Since the beginning of the war, the Italian Government has taken over the Palazzo di Venezia at Rome, formerly occupied by the Austrian Embassy, and has turned it into a Museum of Ancient Arts and Crafts. When it came to furnishing the rooms, the Government officials searched the churches, schools and monasteries for good specimens of Gothic and Renaissance stools, tables and cabinets. The harvest was surprisingly meagre. Nearly every available piece had, within a few years, left Italy for the United States.
