Description from the seller
Refined Italian sideboard from the 1950s, made of walnut and rosewood with high-quality gilded bronze fittings.
The structure, slender and elegant, rests on harmonious, thin legs, slightly splayed, which give great visual lightness. The perforated bronze upper crown frames the top with finesse, flanked by carefully chased handles and decorative moldings.
The geometric inlay, present on all sides, alternates diamond motifs and paneled compositions that intertwine with elegance, creating depth and movement. The decorative friezes depict floral elements, sinuous scrolls, small allegorical statues, and a splendid scene with lovers' angels, finely modeled, captured in a tender and dynamic gesture.
The drawers slide perfectly.
Excellent condition, no damage to report.
Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
