This Mid-Century Modern wood chest of drawers, crafted by Consorzio Mobili Cantù, Italy, in the 1960s, is a stunning example of Italian craftsmanship from the period. The chest is constructed from solid walnut, which gives it a rich, warm tone and beautifully reflects the quality of materials used by one of Italy's most respected furniture makers.

The piece features seven drawers made of solid walnut, each with a sleek white formica front, creating an eye-catching contrast between the wood and the modern material. In addition to the drawers, there is one large cozy flap drawer that adds extra storage and a touch of functionality. The chest is veneered in high-quality zebra walnut, a striking wood that adds texture and depth to the overall design.

The iron and brass legs provide a sturdy yet elegant foundation, perfectly complementing the refined woodwork. As a whole, this chest embodies the Italian design ethos of the 1960s, combining clean lines, functional storage, and timeless beauty.

Fully restored to its original condition, the piece remains in really good condition with only minor signs of wear and age, making it a rare and well-preserved example of Italian mid-century modern furniture. 

The Consorzio Mobili Cantù was composed of several smaller furniture manufacturers and artisans that came together to produce innovative, high-quality pieces.

Their designs represent the best of Italian design heritage, combining innovation with tradition. This piece has an attribution mark,
