Art Deco Walnut Wood Goat Skin and Brass Italian Commode Chest of Drawers, 1950

About the Item

Italian Art Deco dresser from the first half of the last century. You can recognize his Italian style, Paolo Buffa, Vittorio Dassi, Osvaldo Borsani. Precious materials that were used to compose it, from goatskin, to walnut, to brass. Its shape is rectangular and very squared. The chest of drawers is composed of a recessed top in black glass, while the sides are veneered in walnut wood. On the front the chest of drawers has a carved wooden frame all around and six drawers; three on the right side and three on the left side. These do not have a flat but slightly convex design, ("bar of soap" shape, it is also covered in parchment leather). Its access is permitted by six brass handles, positioned in the center of the drawer, one for each drawer. The shape of the drawers is very particular. The chest of drawers has four wooden legs lacquered with black shellac. These have a round design and narrow from top to bottom. As you can see from the photo, note the workmanship of the frame around the drawers, which in addition to having a beautiful lively design, has square mirrors set into it. The restoration, like every piece in our workshop, was carried out respecting the original, maintaining its value in its original state. The dresser has been well restored, both in the wooden part and in the parchment skin. As regards the parchment, there is a slight yellowing, due to time and use. For each piece, before departure, an inspection is carried out again, to ensure that it arrives in excellent condition.

Italian Art Deco Blue Crystal Italian Commode, Chest of Drawers
By Vintage Italian Glass
Located in Valladolid, ES
Outstanding chest of drawers made by hand with Italian blue glass plates. Exclusive geometric design, based on triangular shapes and their tangents, which seem to form the silhouette of a diamond on the front. Each chest of drawers is made up of two large-capacity registers with asymmetric handles. The lower handle is an equilateral triangle, element or central point of the entire projected ornament. These tangential lines arranged on the front and on the top of the furniture are created with a mirror. The edges of the furniture are metallic, silver in colour, as are the openwork legs and the previously mentioned mirrors. The result is a highly refined pairing of colours -blue and silver-. This type of furniture recalls the Art Deco designs of the first quarter of the 20th century. Handwork by international artist...
