Italian Art Deco Walnut, Goat Skin and Brass Chest of Drawers, 1950

Italian Art Deco dresser from the first half of the last century. You can recognize his Italian style, Paolo Buffa, Vittorio Dassi, Osvaldo Borsani. Precious materials that were used to compose it, from goatskin, to walnut, to brass. Its shape is rectangular and very squared.

The chest of drawers is composed of a recessed top in black glass, while the sides are veneered in walnut wood. On the front the chest of drawers has a carved wooden frame all around and six drawers; three on the right side and three on the left side. These do not have a flat but slightly convex design, ("bar of soap" shape, it is also covered in parchment leather). Its access is permitted by six brass handles, positioned in the center of the drawer, one for each drawer. The shape of the drawers is very particular. The chest of drawers has four wooden legs lacquered with black shellac. These have a round design and narrow from top to bottom. As you can see from the photo, note the workmanship of the frame around the drawers, which in addition to having a beautiful lively design, has square mirrors set into it.

The restoration, like every piece in our workshop, was carried out respecting the original, maintaining its value in its original state. The dresser has been well restored, both in the wooden part and in the parchment skin. As regards the parchment, there is a slight yellowing, due to time and use. For each piece, before departure, an inspection is carried out again, to ensure that it arrives in excellent condition.
