About the Item

An Italian console or desk executed in the manner of Luigi Fornasari, from the 1950s. The streamlined rectangular top is finished in pale formica, its smooth, light-reflective surface contrasting with the warmth of the mahogany frame that wraps the rear and sides in a continuous band. The structure is supported by slender, angled metal legs joined by a horizontal stretcher, their dark patinated finish lending an industrial counterpoint to the richness of the wood, with brass accents at the leg joints and sculptural feet. Equally suited as a writing desk or entry console. Condition: This piece is in great vintage condition overall. The frame shows minor surface scuffs consistent with age and use. The piece has undergone a wood touch up by our restoration team, preserving the original intent of the piece. Additional Dimensions: Desk Height: 29.75"; Under Desk Height: 28.5"
