This pair of Italian Art Deco bedside tables, dating from 1940–1950, is made of walnut burl and Bakelite.
Description from the seller
Refined and elegant pair of Italian-made bedside tables dating from the 1940s, a splendid example of late Art Deco and the taste for period furnishings.
The bedside tables stand out for their striking interplay of veneers: the front doors and top drawers are faced with fine walnut burl (characterized by its distinctive, richly figured “bird’s-eye” grain), framed along the curved edges and sides by a contrasting wood veneer with pronounced horizontal grain.
Each piece has a top drawer and a cupboard below, enhanced by beautiful period-shaped handles in gold and ivory Bakelite with brass fittings.
The sturdy structure, resting on faceted twin feet, gives them a compact design with great sculptural appeal.
The bedside tables have been finished with oil and shellac and show normal signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Dimensions:
W 61 cm
D 38 cm
H 65 cm
