About the Item

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. Pair of original and unique Art Deco bedside tables in maple briar and walnut l; the top is shaped in the form of a flower, below is a comfortable, wide, deep drawer with a simple brass handle; the three steam-bent walnut legs cross, and connect to a base with the shape of a rounded triangle, and below the base are three wooden ball feet; the entire top is maple burl; the whole ensemble has a soft symmetry and aesthetic balance of great impact. The bedside tables were produced in Art Deco style between 1930 and 1935 by an artisan company in Val Badia in Trentino Alto Adige on the border with Austria; Val Badia, Val Gardena, and Val di Fassa have been active centers of woodworking since the Renaissance, the skilled and astute artisans of those areas, grabbing from the artistic heritage of neighboring European countries inspirations and decorative techniques for their original creations and with clever planning created unique pieces of furniture full of personality. Maple is by far one of the most valuable and fascinating woods, making it particularly popular in the luxury furniture sector; maple burl is very decorative; it has a distinctive pattern with small dark spots that pleasantly interrupt the soft lines of the wood grain, creating an absolutely unique aesthetic effect; The reason maple burl is so rare is that its pattern is unique and occasional and cannot be intentionally duplicated by humans. The piece of furniture was carefully restored by hand by a skilled furniture maker in Florence, Italy, using the ancient techniques that are the heritage of these ingenious and, unfortunately, last craftsmen. The master craftsman also perfectly repaired the right upright of a nightstand (see photo). By combining the different workmanships of walnut and maple, the craftsman who worked on these pieces of furniture managed to create two fascinating and sought-after pieces of furniture that are compelling and versatile, and that can be effortlessly inserted into any type of environment. Art Deco refers to a style and pattern of aesthetic taste that spread throughout Europe and the United States between the 1920s and 1930s. The name Deco comes from the words "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" held in Paris in 1925, which initiated this new phenomenon involving decorative arts, visual arts, architecture, and fashion. Art Deco is characterized by classical, essential, symmetrical, and elegant forms, sharp geometries, and plasticity in the figures. The nightstands have been restored. Measurements diameter cm.45, height cm.73. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
