Large Italian Credenzas in Walnut and Mahogany by Paolo Buffa for Cassina, 1956, Set of 2

Exceptional pair of high credenza’s by Paolo Buffa in very good condition. What notices most is the size of these magnificent works of art. They are high and mighty and it must have costed them ages to make these. People who work with wood know how time consuming it is to bend wood, to carve it, to make the shelves, the legs and everything else and to put it together. Both credenza’s have tall, tapering legs whereas the blonde one has only 4 legs and the darker one has 8 legs. Both have the same brass feet and the same locks / keys. They are definitely brother and sister and they must stay together. The darker one has rounded shapes whereas the blonde one has more edgier shapes. Both credenza’s have carved wood elements on their doors. They complement one another perfectly with their differences and their similarities. Some very interesting details suchs as the upstanding rounded ridge en the use of much lighter wood (birch) for the indoor decoration. More pictures on request Italian architect-designer
