1953-1957 English Burl Walnut Light-Up Cocktail Sideboard by Heron Son Dining Room Furniture of Distinction, also known as Herons of London, started as Ronson Furniture in 1953. The label is inside the left cabinet door. The Heron name was created by Gerald Ronson and referenced his father's name, Henry Ronson. Due to legal issues and growing interests in real estate, Ronson / Heron Furniture did not continue manufacturing after 1957, if not before. Sideboard is in stock at Danish Modern San Diego and ready for pick-up, delivery, and shipping.

Scarce and stunning six-piece bedroom suite in the Italian Neo-Rococo / Venetian Baroque styles popular throughout Europe in the mid-to-late 19th century.

This suite is made with Italian burled olive wood and walnut veneers.

We attribute the manufacture of these furniture pieces to Fratelli Testolini; also known as the Testolini Brothers, Testolini Venise, and Testolini Freres Muebles; of Venice, Italy.

Fratelli Testolini was founded by two Italian brothers and became the most highly regarded manufacturers for nearly a century of art furniture, wood carvings, mosaics, marbles, jewellery, Murano art glass, and table glass.

After the deaths of the founders, two cousins inherited the business. One did not care for the business and created a merger for distribution of goods with Antonio Salviati, maker of glass, mosaics, and carved art furniture, and Jesurum. From 1902 through 1906 the business was held by The Venice Art Company of Venice and London and was known as Salviati, Jesurum & Co and as Salviati & Testolini as well as Testolini & Salviati.

After the dissolution of the merger, Marco Testolini attempted to recover the business and maintained one carpentry workshop focused on casting furniture for other companies. Marco could never regain the previous success of the business and gave in to the sale of the workshop.

Between 1847 and the 1902 merger, the Testolini Brothers were extremely successful with their original designs of "Cave", or grotto, furnishings; Neo-Rococo, Venetian Baroque, and Neo-Renaissance furniture.

This suite would have been created circa 1880s as a Neo-Rococo offering and fits in well with Venetian Baroque Revival designs, Italian Baroque and French and Dutch Baroque, William and Mary, and Late Jacobean.
