Bar furniture. Italy, 1950s. Birdseye Maple. Gilded brass details. Mirrored interior and exterior lighting. Key is included. In good condition. In its original state. Measurements: 150 x 110 x 47 cm. The design of the furniture produced between the 30's and 80's fits perfectly in today's homes. The shapes, colors and materials of the mid-century furniture create a retro atmosphere bringing a unique and particular taste. The bar cabinet in tender is characterized by the rounded geometric volumes and the formal purity of its structure, very much in line with the Italian design of the 50's. This structure stands out thanks to the bambi type stipe legs that support it with golden brass applications. The prismatic main body opens with a double door that hides mirrored surfaces inside. Two drawers complete the design. Both the two drawers and the two doors have brass handles. The doors also have locks. Birdseye Maple wood comes from North America. Its English translation would be "bird's eye maple" (sometimes written as bird's eye) because the small knots in the grain resemble small bird's eyes. According to studies, the figure is due to unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree tries to initiate numerous new shoots to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions, the new shoots are aborted and then a series of small knots remain.

Estim. 1 500 - 2 000 EUR

Desk, mid 20th century design. Rosewood. Needs refinishing. Measurements: 76 x 152 x 85 cm. Desk made entirely of rosewood, with a design of refined shapes, regular straight lines and rounded volumes, which contrast expressively with the beautiful natural grain of the wood, with sinuous, organic lines. It consists of a rectangular, sharp-edged tabletop, raised on two side frames made up of two straight, rectangular legs, joined together by a lower footing of the same shape, and a half-height crossbar, which reinforces the construction. The back of the cabinet is closed with three doors, two simple side doors and a central one that acts as a hinged lid, each with an independent lock. Two drawer units are located at the front, on either side of the central leg compartment. Each side body has three drawers with smooth, moulded fronts and a recessed handle, made from the same wood.

Estim. 3 500 - 3 400 EUR

ALDO TURA (Italy, 1909 - 1963). Cabinet bar, 1960s. Rosewood, red lacquered goatskin and mirror lined interior. Measurements: 155 x 80 x 44 cm. This cabinet bar, designed by Aldo Tura around 1960, consists of a structure in macassar wood, with bronze hardware and upholstery in goatskin parchment. Raised on a pedestal of classical inspiration, formed by a prismatic base and a baluster, it consists of a prismatic body with two front doors of beautiful grain, with long hinges imitating those of the Gothic period and two arched handles also historicist. Inside it has a space entirely covered with mirror, divided by two glass shelves. Aldo Tura began his career in experimental furniture design in the 1930s. After the marked and angular forms of Art Deco, in these years wood began to be used in free forms, full of curves, and Tura saw in this new taste a new direction for furniture design. His work is a significant combination of free and uninhibited forms, sometimes exceptionally ironic. His designs are also examples of the highest craftsmanship, often being produced in limited edition series, and even just a prototype. In the 1950s, Tura discovered the evocative charm of furniture painted with Venetian architectural views, and also began to experiment with various materials, such as eggshell, parchment, goatskin or wood veneers.
