Large sculpted diamond-shaped chestnut sideboard, Italy, 1940s
About the Item
A large solid wood sideboard with four sculpted doors, in the style of Paolo Buffa, Italian Manufacture, 1940s
The striking wood grain, running horizontally across the piece, combined with the clean, geometric lines typical of 1940s design, creates a fascinating interplay between nature and human craftsmanship—an aesthetic tension that remains relevant and appreciated today. Perhaps this is why pieces like this sideboard continue to be admired and seamlessly integrated into contemporary interiors.
This large sideboard perfectly embodies this balance. The warm, richly grained wood adds a decorative texture to the top and sides, while the focal point of the piece lies in the four solid wood doors, each featuring a refined diamond-cut pattern. This sculptural detailing lends an architectural character to the overall design. The absence of handles ensures an uninterrupted flow of lines, enhancing its sophisticated simplicity.
The overall structure and the long, slender legs supporting it reflect the stylistic influence of Paolo Buffa. The Milanese architect, active in the first half of the 20th century, was renowned for masterfully blending neoclassical decorative elements with European Art Deco influences while maintaining the distinctive characteristics of Italian Rationalism.
This original period piece has undergone an extensive restoration and is now ready to complement a dining room or living space with its timeless elegance.
