Wooden console table with glass top, 1950s
Art Deco style console; a green glass was placed on the rectangular plane; to obtain the colour, a special film was applied hot on the bottom of the glass plate, which allows, looking at the glass from above, to enjoy the beautiful colouring. The structure is linear and essential; the two legs, which connect to the lower base, have a soft and sinuous line, which contrasts pleasantly with the design of the entire piece of furniture. The console is equipped with two hooks on the back to be fixed to the wall. The console was made between 1950 and 1954, by a skilled master craftsman in a perfect and meticulous way in the Lendinara area, in the province of Rovigo (Italy), one of the most famous districts for the production of furniture in Veneto. For the construction of the console, sapele was used, a prestigious reddish wood similar to mahogany from Equatorial Africa; this sophisticated material has a tight weave and interwoven fibers, fine and uniform and with a good natural sheen. It is a robust, rather flexible, hard and compact type of wood, usually used for luxury furniture and cabinet-making, but also for furnishing yachts and boats, as well as for sophisticated and expensive musical instruments.
