Art Deco Large Italian Desk With Double Doors And Drawers

About the Item

We kindly invite you to read the full description, as we strive to provide you with detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This exceptional and magnificent large Italian desk is crafted in walnut. The top, the front panels of the doors, and the central drawer are veneered in feathered walnut, while the interior drawers, made of solid walnut, feature a boxed structure to lighten the imposing design. Feathered walnut is one of the finest wood grains, distinguished by an elegant natural pattern resembling feathers. This unique effect is achieved by longitudinally cutting the tree trunk at the point where it forks into two branches, revealing a stunning, symmetrical grain. A masterpiece of Art Deco cabinetry, this desk was crafted between 1930 and 1935 in Brianza, between Como and Monza (Italy), a region that was—and still is—renowned for its excellence in high-end furniture production. In the 1930s, many luxury Italian furnishings were created in Brianza’s renowned workshops, celebrated for their exceptional woodworking skills. This desk was likely produced by a specialized atelier dedicated to crafting bespoke furniture for an elite clientele. The design reflects the international Art Deco style, featuring clean and harmonious lines that strike a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetic refinement. The desk is adorned with distinctive details, such as elegant vertical black wooden handles, which create a sophisticated contrast with the warm walnut tones. Its solid, imposing structure is supported by sleek black sled-style feet, lending it a sense of visual lightness while maintaining a striking presence. The interior is just as meticulously crafted: the central drawer and the side compartments with doors reveal a practical and refined layout, with solid walnut drawers masterfully finished. The craftsmanship is of the highest quality, inspired by the elegance of French Art Deco and the rich tradition of Italian artisanal excellence. This desk is not just a piece of furniture but a true symbol of elegance and prestige—ideal for collectors, interior designers, and enthusiasts of vintage design. Perfect for those seeking an authentic piece that blends history, masterful craftsmanship, and timeless charm. We have carried out an elaborate and meticulous restoration entirely by hand, using traditional techniques, natural materials, and methods practiced in Italian artisan workshops since the 19th century. The polishing was done using a cotton pad soaked in shellac and straw oil, combined with pumice stone powder—an ancient manual technique dating back to the 18th century. The final hand-rubbed finish enhances the wood’s depth, enriching its warm tones and intricate grain. Thanks to this careful restoration, the desk is in excellent condition.
