About the Item

Presenting a masterfully restyled piece from the 1950s, this Italian credenza offers a dialogue between vintage charm and contemporary chic. RETRO4M, renowned for their meticulous restorations, has executed a substantial renewal and restyling on this iconic piece, integrating custom-designed new parts that honor its heritage while projecting a modern aesthetic. The highboard showcases a significant volume with a single lockable door compartment, embodying functionality with flair. Crafted from wood, it boasts a lustrous black lacquer finish achieved through an artisanal French polishing technique. This meticulous technique creates a soft luster finish, which is less about mirror sheen and more about a deep, resonant glow that takes a week of dedicated craftsmanship to achieve. Complementing the deep noir of the lacquer is the top, finished in a contrasting green lacquer that adds a dash of avant-garde to the piece. Oxidized brass elements punctuate the design, providing a subtle nod to its mid-century roots while infusing an ultramodern sensibility. This sideboard, standing on its distinctive legs, reflects a keen attention to detail and design intelligence. It is a piece that has been thoughtfully curated and brought back to life to stand as a testament to the seamless integration of classic and contemporary design principles. For further information on dimensions, condition, or shipping, please inquire. This sideboard invites not just utility but also a story into your space—a centrepiece ready to continue its narrative in a new home.
