1930s Italian Vitrine with Natural Outlines in Black Beige and Gold

About the Item

Vitrine cabinet, colored plaster, birdseye maple veneer, aluminum, glass, Italy, circa 1930 This exquisite vitrine, believed to be a unique piece from Italy dating back to the 1930s, approaches nearly a hundred years old. Setting itself apart from conventional art deco designs, it captivates with its distinctive materials and ornate arrangement. Adorned with a thin layer of plaster, the surface showcases natural motifs outlined in black, beige, and gold, lending it a decorative charm. Reflecting the dynamism of the futurist movement, this cabinet features dynamic forms, repetitive shapes, and use of colors. Its interior is adorned with birdseye maple, infusing the piece with a sense of warmth. The aluminum frame, likely a later addition, is fitted with glass panels, allowing for the display of cherished objects. A truly exceptional design, this cabinet epitomizes the experimental spirit of Italian decorative arts of that period of time. Kindly be aware that this item is in good, used condition, exhibiting wear and stains that are consistent with the use expected over time.

  • De Coene Showcase in Glass, Steel and Teak
    By De Coene Frères
    Located in Waalwijk, NL
    De Coene, showcase, teak, steel, glass, Belgium, 1960s Modernist showcase with lockable doors, accompanied with a steel frame and wooden shelf. The vitrine features the Brutalist characteristics of De Coene. The showcase was originally designed for a governmental building in Brussels. The Kunstwerkstede De Coene was invited to design the interior project in the late 1950s-1960s. De Coene designed several high-quality pieces exclusively for this building, among others these vitrines. For the design of these pieces, De Coene was inspired by the previous furniture in this building, which were designed by master designer Jules Wabbes. This is reflected for example in the steel frame. De Coene was founded in 1887 in Kortrijk (Belgium) by Jozef de Coene, who was at that time 13 years old. In 1895, his younger brother Adolphe joined the company. In their early years, De Coene was inspired by Henry van de Velde, Art Deco and the Arts & Crafts movement. The company made many custom made furnishings which leads to an expansive growth. After world war one, the brother visited the United States where they became acquainted with laminated wood production, and purchased a wood-stripping machine. They were the first company that made triplex in Belgium which led to the ability to mass produce. In 1954 they received the right to produce Knoll furniture. But although the company produced on a large-scale, their were still world famous for their meticulously detailed, high-quality and Art Deco inspired furniture.
