Production of the ‘Veronese’ fabric, which proposes both the technique and the design of a mid-17th century sample, began in 1915 ca. From the 17th-century model, taken from Paolo Veronese’s painting of Justice in Palazzo Ducale in Venice, Lisio faithfully transcribed both the compositive layout and the larger and smaller elements, placed on the diagonal to lend movement to the pattern. The changes made were enlargement of the ratio of the design, delineating the motifs only with brocading in two types of gold and silver, and use floats of the ground weft and a lancé effect in substitution of the lamella that covered the ground and produced plays of light with to obtain a very successful iridescent effect.

Giuseppe Lisio’s ‘San Marco’ velvet, with its complex geometric design based on interlocking circular figures  taken from a floor mosaic in one of the world’s most beautiful churches – Saint Mark’s Cathedral  in Venice – was woven for the first time in 1926 ca. Produced by the sophisticated ciselé technique, which juxtaposes the different lights of looped and cut piles, it is ideal for exalting the forms of modern and contemporary furnishings.

The pattern of this velvet, created in two variants, faithfully reproduces that of a typical 16th-century velvet manufactured in Florence for an entire century, beginning in the mid-1500s. Many ecclesiastical textiles with the motif are conserved to this day in and around Florence.

This velvet represents a design in the baroque style, the structure of which still retains some of decoratif forms of the renaissance. It is suitable for covering period furniture but can also enrichen in a magnificant way modern furniture  with its simple, clean lines.

The elegance of this velvet produced by Lisio beginning in 1928 ca. derives from the perfect harmony of the various elements of the design with each other and with the ground. The motifs are placed horizontally as was characteristic of the fabrics of the first half of the 17th century: some of these, such as the stippled, sinuous  trunks, belong to the late 16th-century repertory while others, like the small cornucopias or the stylised lilies, are in full-blown Baroque style.

A simple but exceedingly elegant design that has traversed the centuries without losing anything of its allure: the motif is ‘borrowed’ from an 16th-century damask; the ‘Scaccato’ velvet proposes the same pairing of two shades of the same colour seen in the original sample.

This brocade was produced for the first time by Giuseppe Lisio around 1915-1920. The pattern reproduces a fabric called "bizarre" in fashion in the early XVIII century, when the suggestions of the Far East permeate European art and arise a flourishing of exotic themes on all artifacts. Like the models, our "Samurai" is in brocade damask, a technique with which it is possible to create decorative effects on several levels of depth, imparting extreme lightness and strong dynamism to the whole.
