About the Item

An elegant round coffee table attributed to Paolo Buffa for Arrighi Serafino, Italy, 1950s, crafted in walnut and topped with a clear glass surface. The table is distinguished by a finely sculpted wooden rim featuring a double moulded frame — a recurring and recognizable element in Buffa’s design language — which gently embraces the glass top. The outer edge is worked with a softly undulating profile, lending movement and subtle ornament to an otherwise rigorous form. The transparent glass top allows the warmth and depth of the walnut to remain fully visible, emphasizing the precision of the joinery and the sculptural quality of the perimeter. The structure rests on four slender, tapered legs, elegantly curved and slightly splayed, terminating in delicately shaped feet — another hallmark of Buffa’s refined, organic approach to mid-century Italian furniture. The proportions are balanced and light, combining architectural clarity with artisanal softness. The piece retains its original patina, with minor signs of age consistent with time and use, which enhance its authenticity and character. A refined and timeless example of Italian cabinetmaking from the post-war period, ideal as a coffee table or centerpiece in both classic and contemporary interiors.
