About the Item

A remarkable 1950s Italian console with a glass top, produced by La Permanente Mobili Cantu. This piece embodies the elegant modernism often associated with Gio Ponti, a hallmark of mid-century Italian design. Its sophisticated form is attributed to the celebrated designer Paolo Buffa, with the exquisite decorative elements skillfully executed by Giovanni Gariboldi. The console features a gracefully structured brass frame with intriguing geometric lines. This innovative design not only creates a visually striking profile from any angle but also allows the glass top to seemingly float away from the wall, adding a captivating lightness to its presence. The body is expertly crafted from rich maple, providing a warm counterpoint to the brass. A testament to Gariboldi's renowned artistry, the console is adorned with a stunning painted motif: two delicate white birds (possibly doves) with a pearl necklace, surrounded by a flourishing array of flowers, leaves, and other cornucopia elements. The drawers further boast an elegant carved rectangular decorative relief pattern, showcasing the meticulous detail characteristic of the era's refined Italian craftsmanship. This console is more than just a functional surface; it's a piece of sculptural art, offering a sophisticated blend of form, material, and narrative. Its unique details and elegant proportions make it a compelling addition, destined to be a focal point in an entryway, living room, or hallway, infusing the space with authentic Italian charm and historical allure. Manufacturers mark stamped on piece in top drawer. In original condition with some age-appropriate wear.
