Wardrobe - Wood, Burr walnut - Orange sideboard - repainted

Low Sideboard – Walnut Burl Finish – Italy, 1930s/40s Fascinating low sideboard (buffet) in the Art Deco style, dating from the first half of the 20th century. The piece is characterized by a solid architectural structure, recently revisited with a matte coral-orange handcrafted lacquer, creating a bold contrast with the original flame-figured walnut burl veneer of the central body. An eclectic design piece, ideal for insertion into modern, vintage, or industrial settings. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN: Configuration: The piece offers a triple partition of space. On the sides it features two wide open compartments (without doors), ideal as a bookshelf or for displaying art objects. The central section consists of two adjacent drawers at the top and a two-door cabinet at the bottom, equipped with an internal shelf. Finishes: The exterior of the structure has been hand-finished in a coral shade. The fronts of the drawers and the central doors preserve the splendid original walnut burl veneer, with symmetric grain arranged mirror-like to enhance the natural pattern of the wood. Hardware: Original period handles on the drawers and the central door, made of bakelite or contemporary plastic in amber/honey color with copper-toned metal supports. The central lock escutcheon is brass. CONDITION AND DETAILED EXAMINATION (Condition Report): The piece is structurally solid but presents as seen in the photo, with obvious and widespread signs of age, use, and the natural movement of the underlying solid wood. It is sold as a piece suitable for conservative restoration or to be inserted as-is for lovers of the “shabby/industrial lived-in” aesthetic.
