Italian Black Glass Sofa Table, Oriental Decorations, Mod. Rene

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the entire description, as it provides detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects. A peculiar and original sofa table, on the rectangular-shaped wooden top with rounded corners, has been placed a black glass decorated from below with designs representing a pleasant and graceful Japanese landscape;. In the foreground, a geisha in a characteristic kimono sits on a bench surrounded by flowers and plants. In the distance, a temple and the silhouette of the iconic Mount Fuji, Japan's sacred mountain, can be seen. The gold and red lettering stands out nicely against the black glass. A brass band runs along the entire edge of the table. The legs are made of black-painted wood and are especially notable for their brass finials, which are movable (see photo) and allow the table to remain perfectly stable, even on uneven floors. The "Rene" model refers to a coffee table created in the 1950s, designed to be placed next to a sofa, so it is not very tall. Initially, it was offered with a kidney-shaped top made from various materials such as colored glass, mosaics, Formica, and wood. Over time, different shapes were also introduced, but the name remained the same. The design of this model strikes a balance between minimalism and sophistication, making these coffee tables adaptable to various needs. Our coffee table was crafted between 1960 and 1965 in an artisan workshop in Verona, Veneto (Italy). Veneto, a region in northeastern Italy, is known for its rich tradition of producing high-quality furniture. Several historic areas in Veneto have been important centers of furniture production for centuries. Verona, in particular, has a long tradition of woodworking and producing high-quality furniture. Over the centuries, the city has been an important center for furniture craftsmanship, with skilled carpenters known for their elegant and refined creations. The minimalist and sophisticated design, characterized by clean and essential lines, gives our Rene coffee table an aura of modernity and elegance. The sofa table is in good condition. Measurements: width 89 cm, depth 49 cm, height 45 cm. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety of the items.
