Description
A modular sideboard attributed to Vittorio Dassi stamped Permanente Mobili Cantu Italy from the 1950s consisting of four suspended cabinets, three of which have locking doors, the fourth has drawers with raised hexagonal pulls.
Each cabinet has a chamfered top of a beautifully grained Italian walnut shaped in a distinctive raised diamond pyramid.
This contrasts with more tightly grained fronts and side panels of the cabinets
Above each cabinet is set a hexagonal glass shelf resting inset on brass supports detailed in a flat black lacquer and polished brass attached to the ends of tapering flat pillars of Italian walnut.
The interiors of three of the four cabinets are finished in an aged off-white glazed birch with adjustable glass shelving.
There are ten polished threaded bronze discs that are held in cast bronze hexagonal housings that allow the sideboard to adjust to uneven or stone flooring.
The bronze bases are also accented in flat black lacquer.
La Permanente Mobili Cantu was considered one of Italy's top cabinet makers and the cabinet work in this sideboard attests to how beautifully they executed their pieces.The metric measurements of the cabinet are 290 cm long (114"), 118 cm. tall (46.5") and 46 cm. (18") deep.
The cabinet is signed with an embossed stamp on the upper edge of one of the cabinet doors "Permente Mobili Cantu".
The sideboard is in excellent condition. -
