Italian highboard, buffet, credenza, with interior-lit minibar, 2 doors, and 3 drawers in solid wood with rosewood veneer inlays, elegantly slanted, rounded edges. The bar door features a copperplate engraving on glass from the rear of the Doge's Palace in Venice. On top is a marbled glass plate, also from Venice. The same type of glass is also found in the bar compartment.
Unfortunately, the highboard has no markings, which was rather common in those years, but is attributed to Fratelli Rigamonti based on research, books, and catalogs, and their unique design style.
Rigamonti's older furniture creations are known for their column-like central feet. With Scandinavian design influence, slender, more elegant curved feet were sometimes added at the end of the 1940s.
These examples are now rarely found. Rigamonti is known to have only produced them until 1949/1950.
Dimensions:
L 170 x D 52 x H 134 cm

Condition:
The buffet is used. In addition to a few normal signs of wear and tear, there are, for example,
1. a few tiny veneer chips on the top edges of the drawers,
which are almost unnoticeable.
2. The elegant, tapered edges have a few minimal dents. This, too, can be forgiven for this beautiful piece of furniture.
Otherwise, the buffet is still in
really almost very good
condition for its age.
Used with a few minimal signs of wear due to age, but still in good to almost very good condition. See description
