A rare and exceptional Italian mid-century modernist sideboard/credenza designed by Paolo Buffa. The piece was made by the renowned craftsman of the Eugenio Quarti workshop in Milan and bears the brass manufacturer's plate on the back of the piece.
The sideboard's design is unusual and rigorously modernist in respect to similar pieces of the period designed by Buffa. Devoid of any extraneous flourish, the central cabinet is a simple rectangle suspended between two sets of tapered, inverted v-shaped legs. The three doors that front the cabinet are incised with a matched crisscross pattern that was then filled in with gilt. The door pulls are simple scalloped brass circles that were finished and polished to complement and accentuate the gilt work. The shelves in the cabinet are removable, which provides ample and convenient storage.
The sideboard/credenza has been lightly restored to near pristine condition and shows only very slight signs of wear.
Height: 103cm, Width: 221cm, Depth 50cm
