In the Triveneto section at the First Monza Biennale Vittorio Zecchin presented a dining room for which he designed furniture, glassware, ceramic plates and tapestries. The furniture included a table, some chairs, and benches and a sideboard made of oak stained black with gilded engravings of stylised flowers, deer and fawns. This decorative motif, present in the bench in the Wolfsoniana (GX1993.48), had a variant with fish figures in the sideboard also exhibited in 1923 at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. The exemplar in the museum was originally decorated with silver spouts. Sideboard in oak lacquered in black and embellished with a carved motif of gilded fish. The inside of the left door is stamped with the engraved initials of Vittorio Zecchin.
