About Osvaldo Borsani
Osvaldo Borsani (born 1911, Varedo, Italy–died 1985, Milano, Italy) was an Italian designer and architect, born into a family of furniture makers with along and well established artisanal tradition. His father, Gaetano Borsani, owned his own furniture shop, the Atelier di Varedo, where the 16-year-old Osvaldo received his first training. At that time, the designer of the atelier was the architect Gino Maggioni, who brought with him influences of the early 20th century Jugendstil movement from Vienna and who instilled in the young Borsani an appreciation for the arts and crafts and furniture making. Osvaldo Borsani first studied fine arts at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, graduating in 1931, and then pursued studies in architecture at Politecnico di Milano, where he graduated in 1936.
In 1933, two years before graduating as an architect, Borsani designed the Casa Minima project for the V Triennale di Milano (Milan Triennial), along with architects Cairoli and Varisco. This project earned him a silver medal for its Rationalist code and geometries, and he received positive reviews from the critic Edoardo Persico of Casabella magazine.
Villa Borsani And Other Prominent Architectural Work
In 1937, Osvaldo Borsani designed Villa Presenti in Forte dei Marmi, a sea town in Tuscany where the Italian aristocracy and industrial elite would build their houses, a project that displayed the same rationalistic rigor displayed in Casa Minima, but softened by the use of mediterranean finishes and materials.

Villa Borsani. Varedo, Italy
In 1943, Osvaldo designed and built his own house, the Villa Borsani, in Varedo, which, despite being conceptualized under strict Rationalist principles, incorporated objects and art of younger artists that communicate a freer approach to the human expression. The Villa Borsani project involved artists such as Adriano Spilimbergo, Fausto Melotti, Lucio Fontana (who made the ceramic fireplace and the ceramic Madonna), and Agenore Fabbri (who made the bronze statue in the staircase). To this day, Villa Borsani has been preserved with most of its original furniture and it remains with Osvaldo Borsani’s family along with the extensive archives of his work.
Osvaldo Borsani As a Successful Product and Furniture Designer
After Villa Borsani, Osvaldo continued to develop many projects for the Milanese bourgeoisie, frequently with many of the same artists whom he employed for his villa. A particularly strong relationship was the one that Osvaldo developed with artist Lucio Fontana, a close friend since the time of the Accademia de Belle Arti di Brera, and whom Borsani assigned to make a large metal balcony for the Tecno company in 1956.
Osvaldo Borsani’s design work, just as his larger architectural projects, which he also considered design work, very often incorporated elements created by other artists and designers such as: Roberto Crippa, Arnaldo and Giò Pomodoro, Agenore Fabbri, Fausto Melotti, Andrea Cascella...

Lieutenant Samuel Pratt's Walnut Highboy, circa 1740 Boston, MA
Located in Milford, NH
An exceptional two part highboy in burled walnut veneer, the upper case featuring a molded cornice with hidden drawer surmounting a center shell carved deep drawer flanked by two fitted small drawers on either side, and four graduated long drawers, all with crossbanded herringbone veneered borders and period, possibly original brasses, over a lower case with a single long drawer over three deep drawers, the center of which repeating the shell carving seen above, unusual for a highboy from this period. The carved skirt features two nicely turned drops, all supported by four slender cabriole legs terminating with pad feet. Massachusetts in origin, probably Boston, dating to the 1730’s, in very good overall condition, with minor veneer shrinkage cracks, minor restorations, minor losses, and light wear commensurate with age and use.
Provenance: Purchased from Shreve, Crump & Low in NY, with a copy of a 1947 letter acknowledging the Boston area origin and commission of this piece by the Pratt Family and reads as follows:
“The known history of ownership of the walnut highboy dates from the 18th century and Lt. Samuel Pratt and his wife, Elizabeth Pratt, who lived in Chelsea in the section known at that time as Prattville. The Pratt family, for whom the area was named, had been in this country since the 17th century. Mr. Mather, while President of Harvard College, stayed at the Pratt home in Chelsea in 1688 while on the way to see King James II of England for the purpose of bringing back into power the theocratic democracy of the Church of England.
During the Revolution, part of Washington’s forces stayed in Prattville, and Washington stayed at the Pratt home. It is known that he ate some of his meals there. Once the British broke into the Pratt house and looted some things, including a scarce bowl which was hidden in the wall of the fireplace.
The son of Lt. Samuel Pratt was also a lieutenant in the American forces and named Samuel. During the Revolution, he was in charge of the stock of arms and ammunition, which each town kept on hand for any emergency; and he carried hay to Boston, where is was used to reduce the noise of the Boston Tea Party...
