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.

Qing Dynasty-Style Set of 4 Chinese Wooden Nesting Side Tables
Located in Prato, Tuscany
Please carefully read the complete description below, where we provide technical and historical details to ensure the authenticity of our items. This is an original set of four Chinese side tables crafted from black lacquered oak. Known as nesting or interlocking tables, these pieces fit into one another and have a long tradition in China as both functional and decorative furniture. The production of high-quality furniture, including nesting tables, is historically associated with the Suzhou region, renowned for its fine craftsmanship and classical Chinese-style furniture. Interlocking wooden side tables were especially popular during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), although their use dates back to earlier times. This particular set dates from the late Qing Dynasty, between 1902 and 1905, and was crafted in the Suzhou region by skilled cabinetmakers who executed precise, intricate geometric carvings under each table top. These geometric patterns represent auspicious symbols in Chinese culture and reflect traditional decorative motifs. The tables are made of sturdy oak, ideal for durable furniture, and finished with a black lacquer. The oak used originates from the mountainous northern regions of China, such as Shanxi and Shandong. Stackable and space-saving, nesting tables are perfect for rooms where space optimization is essential. When needed, they can be easily separated and used individually as tea tables...
