What’s New: Paolo Buffa Glass Consoles
A pair of Italian Mid-Century demi lune console tables attributed to Paolo Buffa, dating from the 1940s to 1950s, Milan. Designed to sit gracefully against the wall, their form is both architectural and light, defined by three elongated curved brass arms that support the original glass tops.
The interplay of materials is particularly striking. The clarity of the glass highlights the sculptural quality of the brass structure, while the base, crafted in rosewood with a walnut frame, introduces warmth and depth. The result is a composition that feels balanced and intentional, without excess.
Subtle in presence yet highly considered, these consoles reflect the elegance of Italian design during this period. Understated and refined, they capture the essence of Paolo Buffa’s approach, where proportion, material, and detail come together seamlessly. Circa 1940–1950, Milan
