Italian Hand Painted Fornasetti Style Side Cabinet with One Drawer and One Door

A townhouse front on slim legs. No stairs required.

This hand painted Fornasetti style side cabinet, with one drawer and one door, comes from Italy, ca. 1960, in wood, paint and brass. Piero Fornasetti made architectural illusion his signature in mid-century Italian design, and his printed facades and columns inspired work like this one. Black lines on white render double doors, shell-topped pilasters and tall windows across the front, with more windows down the side. A brass handle crosses the upper panel, and a small brass knob sits at the left. Splayed, tapered legs end in dark tips. Twenty inches long and 25.5 high.

Nobody lives there, which keeps things quiet.
