Description from the seller
Elegant two-tier étagère in precious wood – Italy, first half of the 20th century
Refined two-shelf étagère made with veneered wood featuring splendid flame figure grain, expression of the excellent Italian cabinetmaking of the early 1900s.
The piece stands out for its harmonious proportions and slender silhouette, characterized by four elegant, Luigi XV-style, gently curved legs that give lightness and movement to the whole structure. The subtop fascia presents a delicate undulating contour that further embellishes the furniture, while the finely shaped legs highlight careful, high-quality workmanship.
The upper surface provides an ideal area to display lamps, porcelain, photographs, sculptures, or collectible objects, while the practical lower shelf adds functionality and additional display space without compromising the overall aesthetic balance.
Particularly appreciable is the warm wood tone, enhanced by a finish that highlights the striking natural grain, creating refined chromatic contrasts and visual depth. This decorative element integrates perfectly both into classic interiors and in more contemporary contexts, becoming an elegant side table, a small console, or a refined lounge étagère.
The piece shows normal and slight signs of wear consistent with age and use, confirming its authenticity and historical charm.
* Height: 77 cm
* Width: 46 cm
* Depth: 37 cm
A decoratively elegant furnishing piece, ideal for collectors, antique dealers and enthusiasts of classic Italian 20th-century interior design.
Appropriate packing and traceable shipping throughout Europe.
