AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sewing cabinet in solid national walnut wood with metal details.
Italian manufacture, early 1950s.

Entirely crafted in solid national walnut wood, it features a fold-out accordion-style supporting frame and a morphology known as the 'Compasso'.
Equipped with a handle for easy transport, it has 360° swiveling wheels at the bottom to facilitate moving it.
There are five usable compartments, one large base compartment and four others, two on each side, of smaller capacity.
Part of the furnishings of a noble residence, this piece has been preserved over time in excellent condition as it was placed in guest rooms.
Rarely used, it shows no significant missing parts or defects and is original in every element.
Considering that this is a piece made more than seventy years ago, the conditions can be regarded as perfect and as good as new.
Periodically it has been treated with Beeswax to nourish the wood.
The functional design, typical of Mid-Century style, highlighted and accentuated by its distinctive morphology, makes it an elegant and practical container.
Refined, sought-after, elaborate and intricate, today it can easily be used to enhance any type of environment.

Top depth: 20 cm
Bottom depth from wheel to wheel: 24 cm
