About the Item

This monumental Art Deco display cabinet originates from the interior of a historic haberdashery shop in the centre of Novara, Italy. Commissioned by the owners and crafted by artisans from Milan during the mid-20th century, it formed part of a complete bespoke retail installation and reflects the sophisticated architectural approach to Italian commercial interiors of the period. The cabinet is distinguished by its monumental proportions, softly curved corners, warm wood veneer and contrasting darker trim, with pronounced horizontal banding defining each level of the composition. Its carefully structured open compartments were originally designed for the ordered presentation of merchandise, combining an imposing architectural presence with the functional clarity required of a purpose-built retail interior. A rare surviving element of this historic shop interior, the cabinet shares its architectural language with the accompanying display cabinets and curved counter, creating a remarkably coherent ensemble rooted in the late Art Deco tradition and emerging Italian modernism. This cabinet forms part of the complete bespoke retail installation; for further information or enquiries about the complete ensemble, please reach out to us.
