A capacious chamber, a beautiful rusticated finish, a classic English shape lent a neoclassical sense of curvature and boldness; that is the essence of this deceptively simple composition from L'Anatra. Deceptive, that is, in the our tendency to expect that simplicity must, by necessity, exclude refinement. This bent billiard is an excellent hybrid of the neoclassical school's flavor and the classic school's reserved sense of taste.
