About the Item

This elegant pair of Italian commodini exemplifies the continued vitality of Rococo-inspired furniture design in postwar Italy, where traditional craftsmanship and decorative luxury were reinterpreted for modern interiors. Each table is finely constructed with shaped tops showcasing intricate geometric parquetry in warm-toned woods, framed by subtly molded edges that echo 18th-century precedents. The bombe-form cases feature two drawers fitted with rocaille-style brass pulls, opening to reveal a concealed, pull-out writing surface inset with green leather and gilt tooling. This functional detail—both discreet and refined—adds versatility and reflects the Italian tradition of blending beauty with practical use. The tables rest on slender cabriole legs terminating in delicate brass sabots, lending visual lightness and graceful proportion. Decorative yet restrained, these pieces bridge classical Rococo ornament and mid-century Italian taste, making them highly adaptable to both traditional and design-forward interiors. Uses Placement (Excellent for 1stDibs Buyers) These commodini are exceptionally versatile and can be used as: Bedside tables or nightstands in a primary or guest bedroom Accent tables flanking a sofa, console, or fireplace Small writing or correspondence tables in a library or study Decorative storage tables in an entry or dressing area Their compact scale makes them especially appealing for urban apartments, while the parquetry surfaces provide strong visual impact even in minimalist settings. Condition: Good vintage condition. Minor surface wear, scattered small flakes, and localized veneer losses consistent with age and use. Structurally sound, with drawers operating smoothly.
