AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful pair of original 1950s nightstands, a perfect example of Italian Mid-Century Modern design (manufacture from the Milanese/Canturina area).
The furniture stands out for an elegant and dynamic line, typical of the era, that blends Neoclassical taste with postwar modernity.
Main features:
• Materials: Fine wood (mahogany veneer / blond walnut) with a glossy finish.
• Fine details: Elegant needle/spindle legs with brass terminals and decorative carvings on the top.
• Surfaces: Double top surfaces. The upper one is original clear glass, the lower one is back-painted glass in cream/mustard color, perfectly intact.
• Opening: Wide curved-front drawer with an original worked brass handle.
Condition:
The nightstands are in good vintage condition. They show the usual signs of time that attest to their authenticity. Note: one leg has a superficial crack in the wood (as in the photo), easily restorable by a professional or enthusiast, which does not affect their stability.
