Unique Italian Highboard in Walnut and Birch with Carved Scalloped Front
About the Item
Wardrobe, walnut, birch, beech, brass, mirrored glass, steel, aluminum, Italy 1940s/1950s
The decorative elements, material use, woodworking, and the overall composition suggest that this armoire might have been crafted by an Italian master. This truly elegant piece of furniture is a testament to the designer's exquisite sense of balanced compositions and meticulous attention to detail. The front captivates the eye with its decorative front composed of twelve squares contoured with free, organic lines. The undulating curve serves as a defining element, a stylistic element that Paolo Buffa frequently used in his works. A vivid juxtaposition arises from the light, blond birch and the rich, dark walnut wood. This, combined with the distinctive wood grains, enhances its natural appeal. The interior facilities various storage possibilities, including four small drawers, two larger drawers, and two coat racks on each side. Considering every stylistic aspect, this wardrobe possesses the precise charm and vitality necessary to embody the quintessential Italian ethos of the forties and fifties.
