Wardrobe by Osvaldo Borsani for Atelier Borsani, late 1920s












Art Deco style wardrobe made by Osvaldo Borsani for Atelier Varedo by Gaetano Borsani. The wardrobe is made of rosewood and maple. The central body of the wardrobe is surmounted by a green marble slab and has 3 main doors with mirrors with a hexagonal frame inlaid and lacquered in silver. At the sides there are two narrow doors with relative compartments and internal shelves. At the bottom, 2 drawers with a maple front panel create a chromatic alternation with the dark color of the rosewood. The base of the wardrobe has a frame with an inlaid edge. On the top of the wardrobe stands a gold lacquered wooden cymatium inlaid with a deco style floral motif. The object, given its very high level of workmanship, is published in the Osvaldo Borsani monograph by Francesco de Luca Editore on pp48-49 together with other elements of the bedroom that was created by the atelier. Published work. Publication photo available. The object is assembled exclusively by interlocking without the help of any tools.
