Credenza by Pier Luigi Colli, in Indian Rosewood and Burlwood, Italy circa 1940s
About the Item
This sideboard, crafted in the 1940s or early 1950s, captures an architectural approach and decorative sensibility in a carefully balanced design.
Design
Made from richly toned Indian rosewood, the piece features a symmetrical layout with three drawers on either side and two central cabinet doors. The front is adorned with vertical fluted carving—known as grissinatura—which gives the surface texture and rhythm. At the center, the veneered doors are framed with burlwood and inset with square blue glass panels. These panels are internally lit, casting a soft glow that contrasts with the dark wood and adds depth to the cabinet's façade. The geometric shaping continues through the angled profile and sculpted feet, all carved with precision. Handles are reduced to simple round forms, letting the woodwork remain the focal point.
This sideboard reflects Colli's ability to combine classical restraint with quiet decorative invention. The lighting detail and carved surfaces lend the piece both presence and a sense of intimacy.
Condition
The piece is in good vintage condition. Minor signs of use are consistent with age, and the interior lighting is functional. The surface has been restored while preserving its original finish.

Hays Company/Pier Luigi Colli
The firm was founded in Turin in 1850, as a laboratory that embroidered for the upholstery of armchairs and sofas. The manufactory collaborated with the Martinotti and C.ia furniture manufacturer, Giuseppe and then Luigi Martinotti, who since 1831 produced luxury furniture in style and from the end of the century in the most up-to-date liberty style.
At the death of Federico Martinotti, the last male descendant of the family, in the twenties, the widow gave way to Teresa and Maria Colli and the two companies reunited, assuming the name "Colli da 1831" (with the date they referred To the foundation of the firm Martinotti). Then came Pier Luigi Colli (1895-1968), younger brother of the two holders who had attended the courses of the École des arts décoratifs.
Pier Luigi Colli, thanks to his close relationship with Paris, imported Lalique glasses and Jean Perzel decor lamps in Turin. The company took care of the real train setup, built by Fiat Ferroviaria and the technical office, led by Pier Luigi Colli, designed and produced the chairs of the Magna University of Turin and the furniture of the Turin seat of the Bank Italy and the Prefecture. In addition to the furniture, the company produced embroidery for coverings and curtains, carpets, lamps with Seguso glasses, door locks and door handles.
The company also carried out works designed by external architects: Gio Ponti (partition walls and windows in the Turin headquarters of Vembi), Giovanni Gariboldi (furnishings for the Richard Ginori showroom in Rome), Carlo Mollino (railing of the RAI auditorium and window frames Of the Royal Theater), Domenico Morelli (furniture of the Rai skyscraper); Gabetti and Isola (neoliberty furniture on the stock exchange) Aldo Morbelli (furniture of Fasano jewelery in Via Roma...
