1940s Italian Art Deco Desk with Grissinato Carvings in Oak Brass Glass
About the Item
Writing desk, oak, brass, glass, Italy, 1940s
This exquisite writing table, a creation of Italian Art Deco design, dates back to the 1940s. Crafted by a skilled Italian artisan, it stands out for its sophisticated form, exceptional use of materials, and impeccable craftsmanship. One of the table's striking feature is the grissinato carvings—fine, horizontal lines that grace the drawers, creating a textured and refined appearance. The wooden cross-sections, meticulously carved, add depth and dimension to the piece, with apertures that lend it an airy and graceful quality. The design is thoughtfully structured, featuring two drawer compartments on both sides and ample space underneath the glass top. The carved frames, doubling as structural supports, seamlessly extend down to form the legs, which are elegantly tapered and capped with brass points. The oak used in the construction has a warm, inviting tone, showcasing beautiful grain patterns that are further enhanced by the subtle cerused finish on the sides. This finishing technique, involving the application of a contrasting pigment, highlights the wood's natural grain. The design evokes the work of Paolo Buffa and Tomaso Buzzi, seamlessly blending Art Deco influences with modernist elements. This writing desk exemplifies the artistic flair and craftsmanship that characterize Italian design from the 1940s.
