[QUOTE="Debora, post: 384638, member: 1476"]Founded in 1897 by an Italian immigrant to Brazil and, at one time, the country's most important furniture manufacturer. You should be able to date your piece from the "Gelli and Sons" addition under the Casa Gelli logo. Unfortunately, the only reference I can find to that isn't until 1938 which is probably a bit late. Here are photographs of, amongst other things, the Casa Gelli factory and a showroom.
