About the Item
Ernesto Valabrega for Vittorio Valabrega, vanity table and stool, oak, fabric, Italy, 1930s
This refined vanity and stool, designed by Ernesto Valabrega for Vittorio Valabrega in the 1930s, exemplify mastery of proportion, craftsmanship, and decorative restraint. Made in oak, the set reveals Valabrega’s architectural sense of form, where every line and surface has a precise, deliberate rhythm. The vanity features a rectangular top with delicate carved accents along its edges and two drawers that provide practical storage while maintaining the clean geometry of the design. The fluted legs, subtly widening toward the base, give the piece a graceful presence. The matching stool echoes the same attention to detail, with its sculpted frame and upholstered seat offering both comfort and elegance.
Italian designer Ernesto Valabrega (1901-1944) was born in Turin, as the son of celebrated designer and cabinetmaker Vittorio Valabrega (1861-1952). His father Vittorio was, together with his brother, the founder of Fratelli Valabrega (Valabrega Brothers Company, since 1884) that was situated in Turin. During the 1890s, Vittorio became the sole owner of the company and had great success with his refined wooden furniture. Vittorio Valabrega became well-known for his furniture in the floral Art Nouveau style, but as a true child of the 19th century, his company also manufactured furniture in Neo-Renaissance and the French Rococo Louis XV-style. His designs received positive attention and were awarded at World Exhibitions. At the famous exhibition in Paris in 1900, Vittorio even received a gold medal. It was at the age of 24 that Ernesto got on board with his father’s business. His involvement from 1925 onwards had a great impact on the company. Ernesto decided to change the company’s name to Mobilart in 1928 and radically redirected the course. Whereas Vittorio was inspired by a variety of contemporary and historic styles, Ernesto chose for a different approach. He renounced the 19th century mixture of styles and approached furniture design in the same manner as the highly influential William Morris of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Their reform was an artistic reaction to the widespread industrialization of the 19th century. Ernesto despised products of poor quality and chose high quality materials that would last a lifetime. The furniture he created in the late 1920s and 1930s are a true testament to his beliefs. With his irregular carvings of oakwood, the hammered hinges, flowing edges, embossed surfaces his furniture shows quality, attention to detail and ultimate craftsmanship.
