Elevate your interior with this rare and elegant mid-century Italian sideboard, a masterful example of 1950s design attributed to Vittorio Dassi. Exquisitely crafted with a sculptural façade and richly grained walnut veneer, this piece is a testament to the sophistication and innovation of postwar Italian modernism. The front features a beautifully carved geometric pattern, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and refined symmetry. The black lacquered (or glass) top adds a bold contrast, while the ebonized tapered legs, capped with original brass sabots, ground the piece with architectural poise. This sideboard offers generous interior storage across multiple compartments and drawers, making it as functional as it is decorative. Whether placed in a dining room, entryway, or modern living space, it adds a dramatic and luxurious statement.
