Educational vintage painting from the 1940s–1950s, in Museale/Industrial Italian material, measuring 106.5 cm high by 76.5 cm wide and 5 cm deep, in good condition with minor signs of age and stains.
Description from the seller
Educational diorama from the Lane Manufacture in Borgosesia (Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia), with a diagram of the wool processing steps. It shows the textile transformation from raw materials (sucido, saltato, washed, carded, combed) to by-products and finished yarns.
History: The company officially began on January 30, 1850 in Aranco, a hamlet of Borgosesia (Vercelli). It was founded by the Milanese brothers Carlo and Giuseppe Antongini, who fled from Milan due to their involvement in the 1848 revolutionary movements. They decided to settle in Valsesia, a strategic area thanks to its proximity to the routes where flocks pass toward the Biella region and rich in waterways (essential for hydro energy). The company is registered as the first worsted wool spinning mill in the entire Sardinian State (Sabaudo State).
Good luck!
