Description

Command attention with this extraordinary vintage Italian obelisk etagere, a masterclass in the theatrical and opulent aesthetic of legendary designer Renzo Mongiardino. This monumental architectural piece is meticulously hand-painted, featuring a deep forest green exterior framed by rich gold-leaf borders. The central medallion showcases a classic Roman profile in silver tones, evoking the refined spirit of the Grand Tour. Its most captivating feature is the vibrant red interior, which provides a dramatic and sophisticated backdrop for displaying curiosities, fine bindings, or cherished collectibles. Grounded by oversized gilt ball feet on a matching pedestal base, this etagere represents the height of Italian artisanal craftsmanship and maximalist design. This towering statement piece serves as a magnificent focal point for a grand library, a sophisticated salon, or a high-ceilinged entryway. It measures 19.25” square at the base and stands an impressive 93” tall. The shelving is in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor scuffs and age-appropriate blemishes that contribute to its authentic character and soft, storied patina. Its rare combination of neoclassical motifs and bold color contrast ensures it remains a conversation piece in any curated interior. We invite you to add this rare example of Italian design history to your private collection today.
