Rare Diablo Console Table by Gio Ponti

Italy | c. 1940 African padauk wood, bamboo, poplar. Sculptural console table with bamboo caning details, 2 drawers, and shaped legs. Made by Mario Quarti. Additional matching tables in other sizes available. This would have been for a custom commission, and each piece from the group is most likely unique.

Condition: Very good condition. Wood finish appears to be original, and shows small markings and inconsistencies, but nothing that detracts. Recently sensitively cleaned and polished up. Bamboo caning is in good condition.
