About the Item

Make a bold statement with this exquisite modernist glass and metal coffee table, a rare creation attributed to the legendary Pietro Chiesa for the esteemed Italian manufacturer Fontana Arte. Crafted in Italy circa 1940, this exceptional piece seamlessly blends elegance and innovation, embodying the refined mastery of the Milanese design house. A thick hand-chiseled glass slab anchors the table's striking rectangular silhouette, meticulously crafted with "scalpellato" edging that refracts light in mesmerizing patterns. One side boasts a glossy finish, while the other reveals a granite-textured matte surface, offering versatility and visual intrigue. The geometric metal base, finished in sophisticated gunmetal lacquer, complements the sleek, architectural aesthetic, delivering both strength and beauty. A true testament to timeless design, this masterpiece transforms any space with its understated yet luxurious presence. Though it bears no visible designer's mark, its artistry speaks volumes, making it an extraordinary addition to any modern interior. Own a piece of Italian design heritage and elevate your private space with this stunning creation. Dimensions: 30.69 in wide (78 cm) by 19.69 in deep (50 cm) by 16.57 in high (42 cm). The glass slab is 0.63 in thick (1.5 cm).
