I also thought Italian once I saw it and the name Manetti helped enforce it.  I would've thought early 1900's...  The "A" & "R" look as if custom made for owner.  Any idea of original owners?

The appear massive.  Do you have any idea what kind of wood was used?  I too believe the initials were a special order from the factory.
