About the Item

This is a stunning example of Italian Mid-Century Modern (MCM) design, probably dating back to the late 20th century.40s and mid-50s. Pieces like this often come from Lombardy, in fact, its provenance from the Cantù Permanente confirms its provenance. Design features Herringbone veneer: The most striking feature is the book-matched veneer on the doors and drawer fronts. This creates a rhythmic "V" pattern, a hallmark of high-end Italian furniture of this era. Glossy finish: the "wet" effect suggests a thick shellac lacquer, typical of the time, which protects the wood and adds a formal and luxurious touch. Floating aesthetics: the way the main body rests on tapered "spiked" legs It gives it a lightness and elegance common to midcentury design. Hardware: The black and brass bow tie-style drawer handles and the circular "ring" key are typical details of Italian hardware from the 50s. Construction and materials Main wood: The exterior is teak wood, which is known for its contrast of deep grain. Whole wood with the use of a lighter and contrasting wood for the interior is a sign of higher quality. Carpentry, dovetail joints can be seen on the drawers. These look like they are machine-cut but hand-finished, indicating high-end production in the factory or workshop rather than a piece of furniture for the mass market. Usage and Value This piece is a "chiffonier" or a men's wardrobe. The upper section with the hanger rod is intended for shirts or jackets, while the drawers underneath offer space for folded items. On request it can be equipped with shelves to be used as a sideboard. Very good original conditions, ready to use.
