Brazilian Modern Credenza in Hardwood & Brass, Giuseppe Scapinelli, 1955 Brazil
-
Description
Available today, this Giuseppe Scapinelli’s stunning credenza is entirely made of Caviuna hardwood and features six bronze tipped tapered legs and has four doors, four hardwood drawers and 3 shelves. The original brass keys are available. The piece has been carefully refinished and besides the marks of age the piece is in excellent condition.
While the piece is mostly Mid-Century Modern (by time and design), it has Art Deco elements that can be seen in the woodwork throughout the entire piece but mostly in the doors.
This Brazilian Modern credenza effortlessly flexes into any Mid-Century Modern, modern, Danish modern or contemporary environment. The credenza is currently displayed in the gallery next to a black Scapinelli coffee table and looks magnificent.
About the author. Giuseppe Scapinelli was born in 1891 in Modena, Italy, but like many of his Italian fellows, he crossed the ocean and immigrated to Brazil where he started a new life. An accomplished painter, ceramist, and sculptor, he began his career as a furniture designer in the early 1950s.
Scapinelli was both a furniture maker and retailer in 1950s-1960s in São Paulo. His futuristic style is easily recognizable because of the curvy lines and soft shapes, inspired by the Italian design of the 1940s, a departure from the mainstream designs of his fellow retailers. His pieces are beautifully crafted in Brazilian traditional wood. He designed and produced many unique pieces for distinctive São Paulo homes. Scapinelli died in 1982.
