Sideboard or buffet in the mid-century modern Italian style made by designer Osvaldo Borsani for Atelier Borsani Vardeo, circa 1950s. Originally designed as part of a full living room set by Borsani. This credenza is made of solid wood construction, primarily mahogany and maple veneered with a fine rosewood, all in excellent vintage condition. This fine bar features a mirrored and tinted glass upper compartment behind sliding folded doors. The bar cabinet upper interior also includes glass shelves and brass columns in a classical style. There are also two small drawers for storage. On the bottom, four dovetailed drawers are separated by a ridged, ebonized drop front bar compartment. The feet are capped with brass. The keys and locks are in working condition. We loved the versatility and elegance of this exquisitely crafted piece. It is in excellent vintage condition – the photos accurately depict the condition of the bar cabinet.

Osvaldo Borsani was a true innovator and designer. Born in 1911, he was the visionary figure behind influential mid-century Italian furniture brand Tecno. He was respected for his high-quality, functional, and pioneering designs. He was instrumental in bringing modernist to Italy while remaining committed to the Italian tradition of fine craftsmanship. This cabinet is an excellent example of his dedication and thoughtfulness – bringing together functionality and beauty.
