Sculptural coffee table in walnut and glass, Italy, 1950.

This sculptural Italian coffee table from the 1950s perfectly illustrates the elegance of mid-20th century design. Made of solid walnut, with patinated brass legs and a glass top, it reflects the sophistication of Gio Ponti's geometries and the poetic structuralism of Ico Parisi. Although unsigned, its exceptional craftsmanship and choice of materials undoubtedly place it within the realm of these design masters. The walnut retains its original amber varnish, adorned with a sought-after patina acquired over seven decades, without cracks or water rings. The brass legs show slight oxidation, which can be polished to a mirror finish if desired, although their vintage shine is recommended for better preservation. This piece is a testament to the optimism and ingenuity of post-war Italian design and will bring a unique touch to any interior. Dimensions: Diameter 98.5 cm, Height 47.5 cm.
