Italian Two-Tier Wood Cabinet Attributed to Paolo Buffa, 1940s

$8,800.00

An Italian two-tier wooden cabinet attributed to Paolo Buffa, dating to the 1940s. Designed in the spirit of the Art Deco period, the cabinet is defined by its balanced proportions and architectural stance. The upper façade features thoughtfully organized open shelving, centered by a drop-front door fitted with circular wooden pulls.

Crafted in warm-toned wood with a softly lustrous finish, the cabinet’s rectilinear lines are subtly offset by dark trim details. The upper case rests on a lower stand with squared legs and a wide shelf, lending the substantial form a sense of visual lightness.

Equally suited for use as a secrétaire, display cabinet, or refined storage piece.

DIMENSIONS: 51"W x 14.5"D x 61"H

ORIGIN: Italy

PERIOD: 1940s

MATERIALS: Wood

CONDITION: Great vintage condition. Minor scuffs and marks consistent with age and use, including small wood splits that do not impact structural stability. This piece has been refinished by our team of restorationists, preserving the integrity of the wood while enhancing its warm, natural tone. Structurally sound and sturdy throughout.
