1950s Italian Mid-Century Modern Sideboard with Grissinato Carvings
Sideboard, yellow meranti, maple, Italy, 1950
A striking example of Italian mid-century artistry, brought to life in 1950. The unit showcases exquisite details, including grissinato carvings that span its width and gracefully extend along its sides. At the heart of this piece is a decorative marquetry of flowers and leaves, intricately executed by Pietro Ferrario, whose family owned a workshop specialized in wood inlay artistry. The panel introduces a sense of organic ornamentation, breaking the rigidity of the linear grooves that dominate the cabinet doors. Flanking this central work of art are two open rectangular compartments, ideal for display purposes. Supporting the sideboard are four tapered, splayed legs that extend outward at slight angles. The sideboard stands out for its sophisticated form, exceptional use of materials, and impeccable craftsmanship.
The piece bears the signature "Pietro Ferrario 1950".
