Italo Valenti Brass And Faux Elephant Tusks Coffee Table 1970s Glass Gold

One of the most impressive pieces we've seen in a long time, this massive coffee table from spanish designers valenti consists of two crossed faux-ivory tusks supporting a large oval-shaped brass and glass top. The tusks are made of resin and realistically painted a light cream, and are both finished with brass rope/tassel detailing. Two black wooden supports allow the curved tusks to rest solidly on the ground. This piece is truly magnificent, and would add a touch of hollywood regency glamour to literally any room it's placed in. The coffee table is in good condition, with just some scratches and indentation on the brass of the tabletop (as shown in the photos). You're able to manoeuvre the glass inside the brass, but once it is in situ atop the tusks this is not a problem. Creator: italo valenti. Place of origin: spain. Date of manufacture: c. 1970's.
