Marble and Mahogany Table by Osvaldo Borsani for Borsani Varedo Furniture 1940

Extraordinary table designed by Osvaldo Borsani and produced by the homonymous company Arredamenti Borsani Varedo ABV in the late 1940s.

The base of the table is made of finely crafted Mahogany wood elements and rests on a yellow marble base.

The splendid table is completed by an original white Carrara marble top.

The other tables of the same model that can be viewed online or at auction house results all have a chamfer on the edge of the top that is not molded but “V” shaped. Further research has revealed that Borsani, at the beginning of his production, also made tables with a molded chamfer, such as the gaming table with inlay designs present in the Villa Borsani museum collection in Varedo, and therefore, thanks to this detail we know that the table remains one of the first examples of his production.

Excellent overall condition with some tiny signs of age given its nearly 80 years.

We only point out a single, tiny chip in the marble in the lower part of the top that is difficult to see unless you bend down, as shown in the photographs.
