Side table in brass and lacquered goat skin by Aldo Tura, Italy, 1950s.

Exceptional side table from the mid-20th century, signed by the famous Italian designer Aldo Tura and dating from the 1950s. This refined piece beautifully illustrates Tura's iconic materials and luxurious aesthetic: a harmonious marriage of lacquered goat parchment and a polished brass structure. The top, covered in warm amber-toned goat parchment, is hand-applied and richly lacquered, giving it a luminous and tactile quality that is both distinctive and timeless. The minimalist rectangular shape is enhanced by a fine brass structure with an elegant patina, offering a sophisticated contrast and architectural balance. Authenticated by the original Aldo Tura label affixed under the top, this piece confirms its provenance and value for discerning collectors of Italian modernist design. Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with slight signs of wear consistent with its age and use. Light patina on the brass. Provenance: Private collection, Italy. Dimensions: Height 48 cm, Width 50 cm, Depth 40 cm.
