1970s Italian Renato Zevi Smoked Glass & Chrome Display or Drinks Cabinet
About the Item
An Italian smoked glass, chromed-silver and chromed-brass display or drinks cabinet designed by Renato Zevi during the 1970s. The Hollywood Regency style cabinet has three fixed smoked-glass display shelves and doors with brass door handle-pulls. The sides, back and bottom of the cabinet are also made from smoked glass held within the chromed brass and chrome frame. The doors are held shut via a magnetic closing mechanism. The cabinet is in very good condition with no chips or cracks to the smoked glass including the shelves which is rare.
The cabinet has had one lady owner who bought it when it was brand new in the 1970s and has really looked after it. It really is in the best condition one could hope for.
This wonderful cabinet would fit well in a living or dining room to conceal your drinks and glasses in any style space specifically a Hollywood Regency glamorous scenario perhaps mixing old with new. It's also low enough to be able to display items on top.
I also have a 1970s French Maison Jean Charles brass and chrome square coffee table signed "Jean Charles" on the side of the brass frame which would go very well with this piece.

Renato Zevi
Best known for his inimitable Ellipse rocking chair, Italian furniture designer Renato Zevi worked with gilded aluminum and brass, lacquered wood and mirrored glass to create sleek, sensual and glamorous pieces befitting the Hollywood Regency style.
Zevi designed extensively throughout the 1970s, drawing inspiration from the likes of Milo Baughman, one of the most adept American mid-century modern designers. Baughman’s relaxed and airy approach to design is reflected in many of Zevi’s pieces, such as sideboards, coffee and cocktail tables and dining room tables, which, like Baughman’s designs, feature sturdy chrome frames and polished lacquered wood veneers.
Zevi’s most inventive designs included a lounge chair with an ottoman, a unique creation with oval, sculptural, polished chrome legs and a plush seat and backrest. Through his firm Zevi and C., he designed the Ellipse chair for the Selig furniture company. An American manufacturer and importer, Selig is known for being among the first to introduce European modern furniture to the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Versions of the popular Ellipse chair have been produced with tufted vinyl upholstery and soft, supple Italian leather.
Zevi also collaborated with Italian furniture designer Romeo Rega, creating elegant bookcases and vitrines with gilt brass frames and smoked glass or crystal glass shelves. Rega’s company was acclaimed during the 1970s for its mass-produced console tables, chairs and other pieces until it ceased production in the 1980s.
Zevi’s work continues to be popular with Hollywood Regency decorators, collectors and design enthusiasts.
