AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sewing cabinet in Beech wood with metal details.
Italian manufacture, early 1950s of the 1900s

Made entirely of Beech Wood, it features a collapsible accordion-like supporting structure.
Equipped with a handle for possible transport, it has at the lower end a shelf for items and 360° swiveling wheels to facilitate movement.
The upper compartments usable are five, one wide at the base and four others, two on each side, with smaller capacity and related compartments.
Part of the furnishings of a noble house, this piece has survived in excellent condition over time because it was placed in rooms reserved for guests.
Rarely used, considering that it is a artifact of over 70 years old, its state of conservation and maintenance is perfect, i.e., free of any imperfection or defect.
Structurally solid and intact, it preserves the original wood patina never tampered with, periodically nourished with Beeswax to keep it in top condition.
Please note to potential buyers that any slight darkening on the metal cups of the oscillating wheels was deliberately left to preserve originality.
The functional design, typical of Mid Century style, characterized and accentuated by its particular morphology makes it an elegant, practical and valuable container.
An unparalleled testament to the refined and innovative Design Made in Italy Mid Century; today it can be safely used as a furnishing accessory enhancing any type of environment.
