Italian Coffee Table Mod. Rene With Black Glass And Oriental Decoration

About the Item

We kindly suggest that you read the whole description, as we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Peculiar and original Italian coffee table; the top, rectangular with rounded corners, is made of black glass decorated from below with designs representing a pleasant and graceful Japanese landscape, in the foreground a geisha wearing a characteristic Kimono sitting on a bench and around flowers and plants, in the distance a temple and the silhouette of the iconic Fuji volcano, Japan's sacred mountain. The gold color and red lettering, stand out nicely from the black of the piano. A brass band has been placed along the entire edge of the table..The legs are made of wood painted black; very special are the brass finials they are movable (see photo) and fit perfectly on any floor, even those that are not level, making the coffee table perfectly stable. The "Rene" model refers to a coffee table created in the 1950s, which can be placed next to the sofa, so it is not very tall; initially, it was proposed with a kidney-shaped top, for which different materials were used, such as colored glass, then mosaics, Formica, and wood; with time, different shapes were also created, but the name remained the same. The model's design offers a balanced compromise between minimal lines and sophistication, making these coffee tables easily adaptable to all needs. Our coffee table was made between 1960 and 1965 in an artisan workshop in Verona, Veneto (Italy). Veneto, a region in northeastern Italy, is known for its rich tradition of producing high-quality furniture. Several ancient areas in the Veneto have been important centers of furniture production over the centuries. Verona is a city with a long tradition of woodworking and producing high-quality furniture. Over the centuries, the city has been an important center for furniture craftsmanship, with skilled carpenters who were characterized by elegant and refined production. The minimalist and sophisticated design, characterized by clean and essential lines, gives our Rene coffee table an aura of modernity and sophistication. The coffee table is in good condition. Measurements Width cm.89, depth cm.49, height cm.45. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items.

  • Louis Philippe Style Feather Walnut Coffee Table With Tripod North Italy
    Located in Prato, Tuscany
    We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Elegant round coffee table from northern Italy with "orange slice" veneered with walnut-feather; the central stem of the tripod is in hexagonal solid wood; the three final supports, always in solid wood, are shaped and well whittled with simple and rigorous lines; at the center of the table, there is a delicate and refined inlay reproducing a rose, made by hand with soft precious woods, the two peripheral circles of the top are always inlaid. The most interesting and compelling feature of this table is the workmanship with which it was made: the " wood veneer"( Attention. The exact term is Italian "lastronatura" untranslatable in English, in fact, the "lastronatura" is very different and older than “wood veneer”. Read explanation later). The”lastronatura” is an artisan technique that spread already during the sixteenth century and remained unchanged until the mid-nineteenth century before the Industrial Revolution; it consisted of hand-cutting the trunks of noble wood (walnut, mahogany, briar, walnut-feather, etc.) with ancient saws in so many layers with thicknesses ranging from 4 to 6 millimeters, which were then applied to furniture for decorative purposes; the finishing of this procedure was very complex: the wood layer was treated with natural earth dissolved in water for the desired shade, it was aged with stone, fixed with shellac applied with a brush and finally polishing was performed in 12 steps...
