About the Item

Cabinet features sculpted truss style legs and a panel back which support various cabinets. Featuring a reeded drop down bar, 6 sculpted handle drawers, 3 storage cabinets with recessed portal style windows, above 4 large reeded doors. Silvio Cavatorta (1899-1957) was a notable Italian furniture designer who gained recognition for his contributions to mid-century modern design. He took over his family's furniture company, established in Rome in 1869 by Eugenio Cavatorta, and led its expansion during the 1930s. The company specialized in producing bespoke, high-quality furniture for prestigious clients. Cavatorta's work emphasized craftsmanship and exclusive designs, maintaining a strong focus on hand-made production rather than industrial methods. His designs often combined fine materials such as mahogany, brass, and glass, resulting in elegant and timeless furniture pieces. Notable examples include sideboards, desks, and wall-mounted nightstands. The furniture pieces were tailored for both residential and public spaces, with some commissions gracing the first-class areas of renowned settings like the Hotel Andrea Doria Today, Silvio Cavatorta's works are considered collector's items, highly regarded for their artistry and historical significance within mid-century Italian modernism
