About the Item
A rare and sculptural Art Deco loveseat by Vittorio Valabrega, crafted in Italy during the 1930s. Upholstered in rich black leather, the piece is distinguished by its dramatic silhouette—rounded corners, subtly flared arms, and a stylized architectural plinth base finished in black lacquer. The proportions are compact yet commanding, ideal for anchoring a salon, foyer, or study with period elegance and gravitas.
Valabrega was part of a prominent Turin-based family firm known for producing finely made furniture from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. In the interwar years, the company embraced the Art Deco style, blending traditional Italian cabinetmaking with modernist silhouettes and luxe materials. This particular piece reflects that transition—its curved, softened geometry nods to the Streamline Moderne movement, while the lacquered base and tailored form convey early modernist sophistication.
Loveseats like this would have been offered through select interior decorators and Milanese or Parisian furnishing houses catering to a cosmopolitan clientele eager for Continental interpretations of the Deco idiom. With its rich patina and museum-worthy form, it would sit beautifully alongside works by Jacques Adnet, Jean-Michel Frank, or Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann.
