Venice is deservedly claimed to be one of the most
romantic cities in the world. Built on one hundred and seventeen small islands,
the city holds one hundred and fifty canals connected by an amazing four hundred
and nine bridges.
Venetian attractions include many remarkable structures; such
as an impressive array of bronze work, tapestries and paintings from the 5th to
6th century, as well as amazing buildings and galleries showcasing the artistic
treasures of this unique city.
St. Marks Square is the undisputed symbol of
Venice. The place where people stroll, talk, shop and eat in the most beautiful
surroundings. Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco "the finest drawing room in Europe"
and the waters of St. Mark's Basin mirror the majesty and splendor of the
Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore.
The Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio
(1508-1580) shaped the world that surrounds us today. About 450 years ago his
neoclassical 'Palladian' villas began to appear in the countryside around
Venice. These stunning structures revolutionized Western architecture in the
17th and 18th centuries and he remains the most influential architect in the
history of architecture.
This rich historical & cultural background
provided the inspiration for the wonderful Venetian Collection. An original home
design in the magnificent Michael Amini Signature Series of fine furniture, each
piece is carefully crafted from Birch solids with Birch and Mapa Burl veneers
which radiate the Opulent Honey Walnut finish. Venetian is a timeless treasure
of beautiful furniture and the realization of your most aspirational dreams.
