Pair of Italian Free-Standing Wall Units in Walnut on Ebonized Plinth Bases
$4,800.00Stylish freestanding wall units boasting bookmatched walnut veneer (ca. early 1970s, Italy). Each comes with a black vinyl seat (more for decoration than practical use).
The first unit features a functional light with elegant pull on / off string above open storage. The central cabinet is composed of two sliding doors (one in reinforced tempered glass, the other in walnut) concealing single fixed shelf storage (one / side). Dramatic, carved, ebonized, block pulls complement both the black vinyl removable cushion and plinth base.
Below the cabinet nestle two shallow, dovetailed drawers above open storage. The bottom cabinet (which is a separate unit from the top) is composed of two hinged doors which drop down to reveal even more open storage.
The second unit features all of the same attributes as the first, sans the illumination function, and in replacement of the sliding doors, there is a secretary component with a locking drop down surface concealing open storage and a small cubby for letters / small items. Includes the original key for the secretary.
Compact pieces that remain highly functional without compromising style.
The walnut has been gently refinished; only minor scuffs remain. The unit with the sliding doors shows a prominent fissure through the back plywood, which is visible through the walnut veneer in the front, but easily concealed by items when stored on the top shelf (see images).
Measures: H: 65″ x L: 39.25″ x D: 23.5″ / 25″ (with the cushion in place on top of the bottom component) / 34.75″ (with the secretary surface dropped down).

Pair of Large Gabriella Crespi “Fungo” Table Lamps in Brushed Brass and Acrylic
$72,000.00Monumental pair of Gabriella Crespi “Fungo” table lamps in brushed brass and white acrylic (ca. 1970, Italy).
Among the larger examples Crespi designed composed of oversized brass and white acrylic dome shades atop brushed brass trumpet bases with dual sockets.
Large, impressive pieces in very good condition showing patina/light tarnish/subtle peeling to the unpolished brass lining the shade. Bases have been expertly refinished by the trusted metal workers at Empire Metal of New York and retain the seam line seen originally. There was a split in one of the acrylic shades that was previously repaired and is completely concealed by the caps on the exterior top and interior top. It is undetectable with the brass caps in place, does not affect stability/functionality, nor will it worsen over time. (Origins of repair are unknown, but based on the quality of said repair, quite possibly from the factory.) The second to last image shows a merged photo of said repair – the first image shows the interior without the cap covering the repair and the next three illustrate how the exterior top cap fully conceals this split.
The plugs are presently suitable for UK use and work with an adapter. Dimmer switch presently works with incandescent bulbs and only certain (dimmable) LED.
Retains incised signatures to the shade caps and bases.
From the collection of a prominent French collector whose residences across the world have been extensively photographed for numerous publications. The last photograph in the listing show the lamps in his New York City apartment.
(The large lacquered sofa tables by Crespi seen in the images are available separately.)
