About the Item

Refined Italian vanity/console bearing the "Cantù - La Permanente Mobili" label, characterized by a restrained yet sophisticated design consistent with late Art Deco and early Rationalist interiors. The piece features a linear case with three front drawers fitted with gilded metal handles of stylised profile, and a balanced contrast between the warm wood veneer (likely walnut or similar) and dark lacquered trim/profiles, a hallmark of quality Italian production from the late 1920s through the 1930s. The silhouette is further lightened by tapered supports and a curved lower base/shelf, giving the whole a poised, modern presence. The ensemble is completed by a Fontanit mirror in a dark frame with geometric details, fully consistent with the period aesthetic. In terms of proportions and disciplined elegance, the piece may be presented "in the style of / in the circle of" major Italian designers such as Osvaldo Borsani or Paolo Buffa, without firm attribution unless supported by documentary evidence. Cabinet dimensions: height 66 cm; width 115 cm; depth 37 cm. Fontanit mirror dimensions: 50 × 85 cm (h). Condition Report Overall condition: very good. Restoration: none. Veneer and finishes: sound and intact, with no lifting or chipping. Drawers: smooth-running and fully functional. Fontanit mirror: silvering in perfect condition, with no visible clouding/oxidation.
