Description from the seller


1930s Italian original commode made of birch burl, of exceptional craftsmanship and condition.
A rare piece as it marks the transition between Liberty and Italian Rationalism. Its creation dates back to the second half of the 1930s.
The furnishings of this bedroom, of which only the dresser is shown here, arrive complete and in excellent condition. The materials are valuable, such as birch burl and bronze for handles and locks.
In particular, the vivid natural pattern of the root wood is enhanced by the exceptional craftsmanship of the work.
The sober and linear style, which contrasts with the hyper-decorativism dominant in the 1920s, still makes this piece relevant and original after nearly a century of history.
The furniture, despite its beauty and historical value, does not sacrifice practicality; thanks to the four generous drawers, it serves as an element to elevate a modern bedroom.

Dimensions 52 x 100 x 144 cm.
