Italian Bamboo Parquetry Cabinet, attributed to Vivai Del Sud
Italy, 1970s
Sourced in Lombardy
A 1970s Italian cabinet attributed to Vivai Del Sud, the bamboo frame clad in split-bamboo laid as a herringbone parquetry, with brass knobs and a warm honeyed tone.
It offers genuinely useful storage — a top drawer, an open display niche, and a two-door cupboard beneath — and sits on castors, so it moves easily as a bedside cabinet, bar cabinet or occasional storage piece. The Riviera look associated with Italian makers like Vivai del Sud and Gabriella Crespi, works well in any interior.
Condition: Good vintage condition. Warm patina and light wear consistent with age and use; the bamboo parquetry is intact. Castors functional.
