AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extraordinary and rare example of furniture crafted by one of the undisputed masters of global Haute Couture: Pierre Balmain (1914 – 1982).
Founder in 1945 of the legendary Paris house, Balmain was among the protagonists of fashion and costume in the second half of the twentieth century.
Between the 1960s and 1980s, parallel to other great names of French fashion such as Christian Dior and Pierre Cardin, Balmain explored the world of interior design. Unlike his colleagues, however, he did not create mass-production lines, but signed only a few exceptional pieces, focusing on the absolute sartorial quality of materials and finishes. This extremely limited production makes his furniture rare, hard to find on the antique market, and highly sought after by international collectors.
Original logo of the Pierre Balmain house clearly visible on the side of the piece.
Birch wood with refined geometric inlays and brass knobs.
The piece is in excellent original condition, both outside and inside the compartments, with every detail beautifully preserved.

The item is located at our warehouse in Rome, Italy where it can be picked up in person.
Given the high weight and volume, it cannot be shipped via standard couriers as it is an out-of-gauge item.
Delivery costs will be calculated based on the destination.
