1980s Charles Cobb Studio California Cherub Chest Figured Acacia and Lacquer

About the Item

A Charles Cobb chest hand made at his Californian studio in the early1980s The profile of this beautifully hand crafted piece reminds me of a bouquet of flowers gracefully drooping over the edge of a large container. The chest is from his series of one off cabinets titled Cherub Chests.. I spoke with Charles Cobb who confirmed that this cabinet is unique. The rococo design of the chest with its flowing chiseled upper surface crowns the chest with a subtle surface of shadow within white chiseled waves that flow down the sides. Another eye-catching aspect of this chest is the book matched acacia drawer fronts edged in cerulean blue with ebony pulls.. Curly maple and walnut make up the drawer interiors and cabinet interior. with rosewood accents gives the cabinet a very strong visual presence The cabinet is in excellent vintage condition.

By La Permanente Mobili Cantù, Vittorio Dassi
Located in Camden, ME
A very rare and sophisticated sideboard by Vittorio Dassi stamped Permanente Mobili Cantu Italy from the 1950s consisting of four suspended cabinets, three of which have locking doors, the fourth has drawers with raised hexagonal pulls. Each cabinet has a chamfered top of a beautifully grained Italian walnut shaped in a distinctive diamond cut. This contrasts with more tightly grained fronts and side panels of the cabinets Above each cabinet is set a hexagonal glass shelf resting inset on brass supports detailed in a flat black lacquer and polished brass attached to the ends of tapering flat pillars of Italian walnut. The interiors of three of the four cabinets are finished in an aged off-white glazed birch with adjustable glass shelving. There are ten polished threaded bronze discs that are held in cast bronze hexagonal housings that allow the sideboard to adjust to uneven or stone flooring. The bronze bases are also accented in flat black lacquer.
