1950s Mahogany and Chestnut Sideboard by Artisan Maker

Sideboard, mahogany veneer, chestnut (veneer), Italy, 1950s.

This exceptional sideboard truly resemblances the signature style of the renowned Italian designers Gio Ponti and Lina Bo Bardi. This Italian piece epitomizes the experimental period of the ‘50s where a lot of styles and philosophies were produced during that era. The front of this wonderful credenza features an artistic composition that has been established by a well-balanced position of diverse geometrical forms. For instance, the characteristic handles and the legs break the pattern of stark verticality and horizontality. The slender legs lift the wardrobe up and create this elegant appearance. A sophisticated storage facility is created by arranging the interior of the sideboard with shelves and drawers. The chestnut has an incredibly naturalistic, visual texture that shows nice wood grains and admirable age-appropriate patina. Taking every stylistic realization into account, this sideboard has the exact charm and vitality it needs to breathe the quintessentially Italian ethos of the fifties.
