About the Item

Dining Table in Mahogany, Attributed to Paolo Buffa for La Permanente Mobili Cantù, Italy, 1940s Elegant Italian dining table produced by La Permanente Mobili Cantù, circa 1940s, and plausibly attributable to Paolo Buffa, one of the leading figures of refined Italian design in the mid-20th century. The table is crafted in richly figured mahogany veneer, displaying a striking radial (sunburst) pattern centered on the tabletop, a hallmark of high-level cabinetmaking. The warm reddish-brown tone is enhanced by a polished finish that highlights the natural depth and movement of the wood grain. The shaped rectangular top with softly rounded corners rests on a finely executed apron featuring vertical fluted detailing, adding rhythm and architectural refinement to the composition. This motif is echoed in the four tapered legs, also fluted, terminating in elegant brass sabots, a detail frequently encountered in Buffa’s production and in high-end Cantù manufacture of the period. The overall design balances neoclassical inspiration with modern restraint, resulting in a piece of understated luxury, perfectly aligned with the aesthetic vocabulary of Paolo Buffa and the Cantù school. Details Origin: Italy Manufacturer: La Permanente Mobili Cantù Attribution: Paolo Buffa (unconfirmed) Period: circa 1940s Materials: Mahogany veneer, solid wood, brass Finish: Polished Condition: Very good vintage condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use A sophisticated and versatile table, ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors, embodying the excellence of Italian craftsmanship of the mid-20th century. Measures table cm: H 82, W 204, D 100. ABOUT Paolo Buffa One of the greatest Mid Century Modern designers in Italy and in the world The Italian architect-designer Paolo Buffa (1903-1970) was active between the '30s and' 60s. It is known for a series of furniture designs that combine neoclassical and art deco motifs with modernist principles. His pieces rarely include identifying marks, making them difficult to authenticate. After receiving his architectural degree from the Politechnico di Milan in 1927. Buffa worked briefly in the studio of Gio Ponti and Lancia. By 1928 he had opened a studio with architect Antonio Cassi Ramelli with whom he designed a dining room for the 1930 Triennale exhibit. Not long after Buffa opened his own studio. His furniture, stylish, comfortable and functional is often witty and exceptionally well made. Buffa furniture is known for it’s elegant Neoclassical lines, fine woods and beautiful intarsias. Best quality Buffa pieces marry classic Milanese taste with rigorous modern design. In terms of craftsmanship and high quality materials, Buffa’s best furniture, can be equal to that of the French master; Emile Jacques Ruhlmann.
