Pier Luigi Colli Hammered Gilded Iron Coffee Table with Shaped Agate Top

About the Item

A fanciful gilded iron coffee table with intricately hammered details, the apron with foliate and scroll motif and elegantly appointed cabriole legs, support the shapely exquisite hand beveled agate top. A superb piece designed by Pier Luigi Colli, who was famous for his particular capability of working iron and gilded metal, employing hammered techniques with fine small decorative details along all the iron surface. A highly dramatic and unique piece, both organic and refined, would be a highly unique and sculptural addition to any interior style. By Pier Luigi Colli, Italy, circa 1955. Size: 20" high x 37 1/2" wide x 22 1/2" deep. Pier Luigi Colli, having lived in Paris, was highly influenced by the great French cabinet maker Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann (Paris, 1879 - 1933). Thanks to Paris, Pier Luigi intertwined contacts with the international beau monde, and started to import Lalique glass from France, while the Colli's clientele expanded and special commissions arrived, such as the creation of the Royal Train of the Savoy family made with Fiat, or the lecture hall in the University of Turin. Colli employed important creative partnership with the greatest designers of the Italian post-war era, from Gio Ponti, who relied on the brand for his Richard Ginori project in Rome, up to Carlo Mollino, who created with Colli, the handrails of the RAI (national TV) auditorium and the windows of the Teatro Regio in Turin; also in Turin, the Morbelli architects collaborated with Colli for the furnishings of the RAI skyscraper, and the architects Gabetti Isola for the interiors of the Stock Exchange in Turin. The Colli firm succeeded through numerous decades, its common denominator was the meticulous carving of wood, elegantly decorated with subtle geometric carvings that stand out on the armrests and legs of tables and chairs, or on the doors of the sideboards. Colli was famous for his particular capability of working iron and gilded metal, employing hammered techniques with fine small decorative details along all the iron surface.
