A superb, long Moderne credenza encased in stunning exotic wood veneer, with sides and outer edges wrapped in a fine, hand-carved horizontal “grissinato” fluting or ribbing. Each door is paneled in goatskin and is anchored by an ornate, scrolled brass pull centered within a circular brass ring. The long cabinet sits on an elevated wood frame with beautifully tapered, outward-angled legs. Exemplary of the design elements found in Osvaldo Borsani’s work for ABV in the late 1940s.
