Description:

A rare Art Deco sideboard attributed to Italian designer Vittorio Dassi, this 1940s masterpiece features a striking marquetry front panel depicting a stylized savanna landscape with wild animals inlaid across a sunlit horizon. Crafted in rich, high-polish wood veneers with a sculptural silhouette, the piece rests on a dramatic red-and-gray marble plinth base and stands on two fluted, faceted pedestal legs.

The six drawers are adorned with detailed intarsia of galloping horses, cheetahs, and antelope—each handle cast in sleek glass for a modernist touch. A brilliant fusion of Italian craftsmanship, Art Deco geometry, and expressive naturalism, this cabinet is a functional work of art ideal for collectors and refined interiors alike.
