An organic pair of bedside tables made of teak, Italy, 1930s

Offered by: Linea Gallery

Description
Pair of teak wood bedside tables, distinguished by drawers and intricately carved details, exemplifying Italian craftsmanship from the late 1930s.

In a historical epoch where the sinuous organic forms of Art Nouveau began to intersect with the angular aspects of Art Deco, furniture and its complements assumed singular contours, embodying an epochal moment characterized by exploration, experimentation, and audacity.

Meticulously attending to proportions, each of these two night stands adheres to the organic motifs of inspiration, ascending from their bases to their summits, thereby constituting the primary architectural elements of each piece.

The central drawer is buttressed by distinctive legs, featuring sinuous contours that gracefully arc and extend, culminating in the formation of a lower shelf. When beheld, one is compelled to reflect upon the semblance of the roots of a towering tree, dutifully supporting a smooth, flawless parallelepiped that serves as a tabletop and conceals a discreet drawer. It is within the synthesis of curves and edges that the allure of these furnishings truly resides.

Fashioned from teak wood, they unequivocally capture the aesthetic zeitgeist that engaged furniture craftsmen, artisans, and designers in the pursuit of interpreting the most cutting-edge trends, yielding something novel and unprecedented.

Adapted for both furnishing a contemporary bedroom and serving as occasional tables in a salon, they flexibly accommodate various furnishing exigencies without sacrificing their allure and distinctiveness.

The furniture has undergone meticulous restoration under the skilled hands of professionals, with a particular emphasis on accentuating the natural color and quality of the teak wood.
