The piece is executed in a warm-toned wood veneer, beautifully grained and softly patinated, with a gently curved silhouette that defines both sides. The subtly flared and rounded uprights frame the case, lending a sense of movement and elegance characteristic of Dassi’s work. The façade comprises three spacious drawers, each fitted with striking acrylic glass (acrylic) handles with brass mounts, a hallmark detail of Italian design from the period. The upper section features a pair of lockable drawers, adding both visual rhythm and functional refinement. The drawers open to reveal finely crafted interiors, demonstrating quality joinery and attention to detail. Raised on tapered legs terminating in brass sabots, the commode achieves a light, elevated presence while maintaining a solid architectural form. Very good vintage condition, coherent with age and use. See less
