Low floor cabinet with brown walnut veneer, made in Italy and dating from 1950–1960, measuring 140 × 45 × 32 cm and weighing 18.6 kg, in used condition with probable small veneer losses.
Description from the seller
Elegant and unusual low floor-standing unit, characterized by a strongly architectural design that blends Art Deco taste with the strict lines of Italian Rationalism.
The distinctive feature of this piece is the four side shelves with an upturned curve (wing style or pagoda), which give dynamism and lightness to the solid and geometric structure. The perfect symmetry and the plinth base make this furniture ideal both as a small bar cabinet, as a base for Hi-Fi setups, or as a decorative element for a characterful entrance hall.
Technical and Construction Details:
Materials: Veneered frame in high-quality walnut with a beautiful mirrored flame veneer on the doors.
Central Compartment: Large closed storage space with two hinged doors. Inside there is an antique decorative paper (original or added later for protection).
Hardware: Original brass strap hinges and a brushed metal internal bolt. The central lock is present with a leather (or vintage synthetic) handle/knob.
Design: The curved side shelves are not only decorative but also functional for displaying objects, books, or bottles.
Conditions:
The piece is in good vintage condition. It shows normal signs of age and use that attest to its originality:
Small veneer losses and light surface scratches (visible in photos along the shelf edges).
Original wood patina preserved.
Solid and stable structure.
