Art Deco Italian black and white couple of Cabinets -Secretaries Paolo Buffa
About the Item
One of a kind pair of cabinet-secretaire in black lacquer wood and parchement attibuted to Paolo Buffa (Milan, Italy, 1903-1970).
The furniture designed by the Milanese architect and designer Paolo Buffa is often unique, based on the needs of his clients and, for this reason, always different. What unites his pieces, in addition to the perfection in their execution, is the neoclassical style that Buffa absorbed during his training in Gio Ponti's studio in the 1920s: the solid and elegant lines that Buffa applies to his furniture maintain a kind of continuity between the 19th century and the 20th century and characterize all of his production. The use of precious woods, often decorated with fine grooves on the surfaces and brass ornaments, is another characteristic of his pieces. His most frequent collaboration was with the historic Milanese furniture factory Quarti, with which he designed several public and private projects for prestigious clients, such as the decoration of King Farouk of Egypt's yacht Mahroussa in 1951. In the 1960s, the designer collaborated with Italian large-scale manufacturer Cassina.
They are a very refined, timeless and elegant pair of cabinets, suitable in any space giving a trendy and sophisticated touch!!!!
They are pieces very sought after in the art and antique market!!!
A great opportunity!!

- Art Deco French Wood Black Glass Buffet Sideboard CommodeLocated in Valladolid, ESAmazing French chest of drawers made of precious wood, in an elegant veined reddish tone, original from the first half of the 40s of the 20th century. Characteristic design of Art Déco, with pure lines that tend towards geometrization, in this case curved shapes that make this sideboard a very special piece. It consists of two silver handles, again following those curved lines. Both doors open and feature key locks. Inside it has a shelf for greater utility. In the upper part of the furniture there is a shiny black glass that brings light and shine to everything that rests on it. About the Art Deco style Art Déco, short for the French term Arts Décoratifs, and sometimes simply called Déco, is a style of visual arts, architecture, and product design, which first appeared in France in the 1910s (just before World War I). and flourished in the United States especially, but also in Europe, during the 1920s and 1930s. Art Deco combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. From its inception, Art Deco was influenced by the bold geometric shapes of Cubism and the Vienna Secession; the bright colors of Fauvism and the Russian ballets; the up-to-date craftsmanship of the furniture from the times of Louis XVI and Louis Philippe I; and the exotic styles of Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Persian, ancient Egyptian, and Mayan art...Category
