Ebonized Beech Console with White Marble Top, Italian Manufacture, 1950s
-
Description
A graceful ebonized beech console with white marble top, Italian manufacture from the 1950s
This Italian 1950s console is both a functional piece and a highly decorative element, especially when paired with a mirror. It perfectly embodies the style of the era, when designers like Guglielmo Ulrich—a visionary Milanese architect—were defining a distinctly Italian approach to design. Ulrich's unique vision brought to life eccentric forms, bending table legs and chair backs into almost organic shapes, always with careful attention to decorative details.
The aesthetic principles of that time are clearly reflected in this console. The elegance of its ebonized wood structure is evident in the delicate curves and tapered lines of its slender, fluid legs. The overall design seeks to harmonize two contrasting materials with remarkable success: wood, with its light, airy, and sinuous structure, and marble, in a thick slab that conveys solidity, gravity, and permanence.
The union of these two materials—so deftly balanced by refined and thoughtful design—is a rare find. Incorporating this console into an interior space adds both character and sophistication to any room.
