Neoclassical Italian Desk Console /Table in Metal and Brass By Banci Firenze 70s
About the Item
We are offering for sale a truly rare piece, at the moment in fact, there is no other available on the online vintage furniture market.
This stunning Console Table was made in Italy during the 70s by the company that is a symbol of Florentine craftsmanship: Banci Firenze.
The design of this mid-20th century desk is inspired by the Italian Neoclassical style, called Regency in the United Kingdom and Directoire in France.
The idea of re-proposing classic Roman and Greek models considered in the 19th century the highest and unsurpassed point of art and architecture is visible in the choice of a simple, essential design that communicates symmetry and perfectly balances straight lines and geometric shapes.
Just look at the perfect balance between the very straight and basic aluminum cross legs and the golden zoomorphic terminals in the shape of duck feet; or between the massive frame of the top lightened by the transparency of the glass.
This desk is a perfectly successful artisan project, an emblem of elegance, it would find its place and its function in any environment: from the entrance to the study that you have created in your home, and why not, as a counter in a shop? Completely autonomous and independent from the other elements that make up an interior design project, this piece would be able to dialogue with any style because in my opinion it goes beyond the classification of a simple vintage desk but a bit like the Taccia table by Meret Oppenheim it becomes a sculptural element, a work of art that forcefully takes its place in the room.
The desk is in good vintage condition, the surface has been carefully cleaned and polished with a specific product.
The desk shows minimal signs of use and time.

Banci Firenze
For more than a century, Italian manufacturer Banci Firenze has earned acclaim all over the world for its extensive range of innovative lighting and other furniture designs that draw on geometry, nature and modernist architecture.
Founded in 1899 by Giuseppe Banci, Banci Firenze began as a workshop in Florence that initially specialized in restoring glass, crystal and iron chandeliers. During the 1900s, the business evolved — Banci Firenze became a manufacturer of exquisite light fixtures from hand-blown glass, handmade gold leaf and wrought iron.
Although the company is best known for their meticulously designed chandeliers, wall sconces, flush-mount ceiling lights and table lamps, Banci Firenze’s offerings eventually expanded to include other furnishings during the mid-20th century. Especially popular in the 1950s and 1960s were Banci Firenze’s collection of Hollywood Regency-style pieces, such as glass-topped side tables with gilt flower accents and bases. In the 1970s, dining room tables and cocktail tables characterized by mid-century modernist and Art Deco flourishes were among Banci Firenze’s most popular designs.
In the 1980s, Banci Firenze garnered attention for a unique storage piece designed by the Italian architect and designer Ugo La Pietra. Shaped like a staircase, the so-called “flag cabinet” featured brass drawers, silver-cast ball feet sculpted in brass and a brass flag on a pyramid-shaped top. The cabinet was presented at the Abitare il Tempo exhibition in Verona.
Today, Banci Firenze continues the tradition of designing widely coveted, high-quality lighting and furniture crafted with time-honored Italian techniques.
