Italian Art Deco Blue Crystal Italian Commode, Chest of Drawers
By Vintage Italian Glass
Located in Valladolid, ES
Outstanding chest of drawers made by hand with Italian blue glass plates. Exclusive geometric design, based on triangular shapes and their tangents, which seem to form the silhouette of a diamond on the front. Each chest of drawers is made up of two large-capacity registers with asymmetric handles. The lower handle is an equilateral triangle, element or central point of the entire projected ornament. These tangential lines arranged on the front and on the top of the furniture are created with a mirror. The edges of the furniture are metallic, silver in colour, as are the openwork legs and the previously mentioned mirrors. The result is a highly refined pairing of colours -blue and silver-. This type of furniture recalls the Art Deco designs of the first quarter of the 20th century. Handwork by international artist...
