"Venus and Cupid", Hand-painted on linen in the Oltrarno district of Florence, this magnificent painting shows the clear influence of much earlier classic Italian painters.

Carved pharmacist's chair This late 19th century carved armchair was found in the stunning Basque fishing village of Bermeo, and features perhaps the most exquisitely tooled leather seat that we have seen in many years.

Dowry chest with fleur de lis carving Known as "kutxas" (coo-chas) or "boxes" in the Basque language, over-sized chests like these were all-purpose storage units found in many of the large farm houses that dot the mountain sides in both the Spanish and French Basque Countries. The fleur des lis ("flower of the lily") carving seen on the front and sides of this chest was traditionally used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life.
Mediterrania carries antiques and architectural elements from Spain, Portugal, France and Italy; reproduction furniture and decorative accessories from across southern Europe; Spanish colonial reproductions and accent pieces from Peru; and beautifully made and surprisingly affordable custom furniture from both Spain and Peru.
We source antique furniture, accessories and reproductions in southern Europe in exactly the same manner as do our Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian counterparts.
For that reason, at Mediterrania you have the opportunity to purchase authentic period pieces at price points similar to those of mass-made reproduction furniture. Mediterrania is the only U.S antiques dealer that maintains its own restoration and cabinetry shop in Spain.
