Seideboard by Vittorio Dassi for Dassi Mobili Moderni, 1950s

This exceptional and rare sideboard was designed by Vittorio Dassi in the 1940s/50s.

The piece is supported by faceted vase-shaped legs that rise from a red France marble base and hold the main structure, which is entirely inlaid with masterful craftsmanship by Piero Del Grande.

The sideboard features two side doors and six central drawers adorned with crystal handles. The top is made of black opaline glass.

This sideboard is a true Italian masterpiece from the period. The wooden surfaces have been recently polished, and one handle has been replaced.

The marble base, resting on a brass-edged wooden sub-base, has a hairline crack in the center. Overall, the piece is in excellent vintage condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with its age.
