Description from the seller
Pair of Mid-Century Modern Nightstands – Design attributed to Paolo Buffa – Italy, 1950s
Description:
Object Description:
Splendid and elegant pair of high-manufacture Italian-made nightstands, dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950). These furnishings represent the excellence of Italian Mid-Century Modern design, with lines that strongly recall the style of the era's great masters such as Paolo Buffa or Vittorio Dassi.
Technical Features and Materials:
• Wood: Veneered structure in precious rosewood (or dark walnut), characterized by a deep and mirrored vertical grain that gives great dynamism to the fronts.
• Decorations: The doors are adorned with refined gold volute decorations, crafted with extreme precision. In the center stands a pendulous metal knob in darkened metal with the classic tear-drop shape.
• Tops: The top consists of a back-painted glass in original gold/champagne color from the period, set in a protective frame.
• Legs: The furniture rests on turned and black-lacquered 'spike' legs, with end caps that evoke the revisited neoclassical style of the 1950s.
• Premium detail: The upper part features a perforated solid-wood raised shelf, a detail typical of Cantù luxury artisanal production of the era.
