This Italian rosewood desk or a console from the 1960s not only bears a resemblance to Gianfranco Frattini’s iconic designs for Bernini but also embodies the era’s mid-century modern aesthetics with its sleek lines and rich materials. The beautifully sculpted base enhances its visual appeal while providing stability. The use of high-quality rosewood highlights its luxurious finish and craftsmanship. The division of the structure into two independent parts allows for organized storage of items and the pull-out additional desk adds versatility, making it ideal for work in contemporary interiors.

The “Brevetto” (Eng. patent) stamp indicates that the design was protected from copying or using its particular features without the manufacturer’s permission. The patent number signifies that the furniture includes novel or inventive elements, such as structural features, functional mechanisms, or ornamental designs. Despite the lack of manufacturer’s marking, the stamp confirms that this is an original and unique piece of furniture.

Despite the passage of time, the desk remains in excellent original condition. The signs of use visible on the main desktop (small scratches and subtle discolorations) are likely due to years of furniture use but do not significantly affect its overall aesthetics. They are just typical wear for the age.
