About the Item
This unique Mid Century Tall Boy and/or Secretary, made from solid oak covered by real tortoise shells fully varnished, was made in Milano by a small design studio called Ottini. It features three large drawers, four small drawers, a large compartment which could be used as a secretary or a dry bar and a large storage compartment.
Ottini were making pieces of furniture to order for renown architects and interior designers using only high end materials such as goatskin parchment, python, crocodile, and tortoise shells. The color palette and details of the tortoise shells patchwork is just astonishing. The design itself is typical of Italian Mid Century, rounded shapes, in style of Willy Rizzo for Mario Sabot design. A truly unique piece, extremely rare, found in a very good vintage condition. Made in Italy in 1973.
When purchased the tall boy will be carefully wrapped up and packed in a way to avoid any damages in transport. As soon as shipped you will receive the tracking number for your package. If you have any additional questions regarding this piece please feel free to contact me.
