The Stinga family is in its third generation of cabinetmakers, and today we continue to produce by hand prized inlaid objects using ancient techniques that respect our tradition. We have a showroom in Via Luigi de Maio 16, in the heart of Sorrento, and our works are esteemed by collectors and tourists from around the world.
Bellissimo video. Un esempio della qualità e del talento degli artigiani italiani. Purtroppo non ho potuto imparare il mestiere perché il laboratorio di ebanisteria di mio padre chiuse nel 1970 quando ero molto giovane. Saluti dall'Argentina!
Just beautiful! I saw a couple of shops that sold these in Sorrento last year. Being a woodworker I just wanted to see the shop they were made in. Thanks for the video! What a meticulous process!
I have a beautiful music box that I purchased in Sorrento one year. It plays "Torno a Surriento" and is a lovely reminder of a great trip, a stunning city, and that not all art is painting.
Fascinating. Thank you so much for posting this. The earlier designs have far more life in them and required far more imagination than the stupid so-called modern ones.
AY , QUIEN PUDIERA TENER ESA HABILIDAD !!!!! SOLAMENTE A ENSEÑADO UNA CUARTA PARTE DEL TRABAJO QUE ES EL PATRONAJE. ES LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE VEO CÓMO SE HACE. SÉ QUE ESOS DIBUJOS SE HACE MUCHO EN MUEBLES DE ESTILO INGLÉS, NO AL ALCANCE DE LA CLASE TRABAJADORA RASA. LA TARACEA SERÍA SI SOBRE ESE DIBUJO, SE INCRUSTARAN OTRAS MADERAS, HUESOS ( MARFIL ) , CRISTALES NATURALES Y METALES NOBLES. ES UN MUNDO APASIONANTE Y PARA GENTE CON PANCIENCIA Y GUSTO.
My goodness! What stunning beauty. Thank you so much for recording this. I wondered even as a child about workmanship in inlaid items. It is a treat to have seen how it is done. The particular pieces shown here make my heart sing. Xx
