Description
Presenting this stunning Italian sideboard with a bar compartment, crafted in the 1950s by Marelli & Colico and so well designed by professor and architect Paolo Maggi.

Its standout feature lies in the two doors adorned with breathtaking inlays crafted and signed by Giuseppe Anzani, the preeminent Italian master inlayer of the era, central part in grissinato wood with splendid brass handles to testify the presence of a drawer

Every aspect of this piece showcases meticulous attention to detail, from its intricately carved upper edge frame with "Grissinato" parts along the entire perimeter interspersed with refined brass decorations, to its pyramid-shaped legs finished with brass tips and adjustable feet.

The internal compartments are equally refined and detailed.
On the front , four drawers with elegant handles are accompanied by open compartments fitted with glass shelves.
Meanwhile, the upper section houses a bar compartment with glass shelves supported by vertical brass spacers, capped with spectacular unique flamingo-shaped end stops, and features an internal lighting system that activate upon doors opening.
Inside the two doors are embellished with four English prints depicting hunting scenes drawn by Samuel Howitt in the 19th century

This sideboard stands as an outstanding example of high-end mid-century Italian design, particularly rare in its original patina and so very good condition of the period as depicted in the photos, poised to become a focal point in any home.
