Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, there was a dent on front edge of cabinet that has been filled and colored and there is some fading to the plastic medallions, the 2 on the right are a bit lighter than the 2 on the left. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1960’s.

What a MONSTROSITY of MAGNIFICENZA!!!!! (Magnificence!) Simply put… Yes, this piece is JUST that and is comprised of a frame masterfully composed of both a phenomenal wood toned plastic or wood composite, brass, wood, and it’s topped with a Colossal extra-large rectangular mirror with a sculpted, gilded trim. The sixties was a strong decade bringing unforgotten moments in time such as the Kennedy Assasination, Martin Luther King delivers his “I Have a Dream” speech, Man Lands on the Moon, BEATLEMANIA… Oh ya, AND “Plastic” was the absolute IN thing to use on home furnishings!! That’s right! Especially plastic as high quality and durable as is composed in this incredible Italian piece. There’s a fun story that accompanies this piece as we were able to meet the previous owners that purchased this beauty (along with other pieces) while stationed in the military in ITALY in the 60’s! When they moved back to the United States, this beauty came back too. And not to brag BUT… my father-in-law (who has been in the vintage furniture, design, and building custom furnishings business for well more than half of his life… and that folks, is a LOOOOONG time!!) commented that this is probably one of the “highest quality pieces” we have EVER had to offer! That’s a big deal people!! You wouldn’t want to hear some of the OTHER things he says!! LOL!!!! This incredible sideboard bears five center drawers bearing beautiful large round pulls, four decorative gothic crosses on each door front with inner door astragals and skeleton keys with a heart detail, barley twist legs on the sides, and round decorative feet. The inner astragals bear a feature where the doors must open & close simultaneously WHILE also using the skeleton key. It is a beautifully crafted, highly functional piece of furniture and it is going to be incredible in your family room or living room, in your dining area, down a LONG hall, as a dresser & mirror combo in your bedroom, or in the study, home office, or den. At 109 inches long, it’s a BEAST folks! A Big…Beautiful BEAST and possibilities are as endless as your imagination. It has adequate storage, it is versatile, useful, and it bears a quintessential Italian Gothic Revival style you are sure to love for years to come. What are you waiting for? Just say “SI” and make it YOURS!!!!!!
