Item description

Beautiful 1940s bar furniture designed by Vittorio Valabrega and produced by the Turin firm of the same name, Valabrega. The Fratelli Valabrega company was founded in Turin in 1884, where it distinguished and established itself with the production of eclectic and Art Nouveau furniture. Starting in the 1990s, the owner became Vittorio Valabrega (1861- 1952), who inaugurated the new premises at 13 Via Principe Amedeo. The factory was annexed to the showroom, where about 50 workers including carpenters, sculptors, upholsterers and painters worked. Vittorio Valabrega took part in the following exhibitions: Turin 1898 Silver Medal Paris 1900 Universal Exposition Gold Medal Milan 1906 Grand Jury Prize Turin 1911 Out of Competition Gold Medal After the First World War the industry continued to develop (it reached 100 employees) the factory was moved to Corso Massimo d'Azeglio 21, while the showroom was moved to Via Maria Vittoria 46 . From 1925 Vittorio Valabrega was joined in the management of the company by his son Ernesto (1901-1944), who imposed a radical renovation as early as 1928, creating a series of solid walnut furniture with beautiful polished surfaces, aniline-stained in discreet shades of green, red and blue. In 1932, both the production and sale of antique and modern furniture were brought together in Corso Massimo d'Azeglio.
