An iconic Mid-Century Modern bar cabinet designed by Aldo Tura, Italy, circa 1950's. Crafted in Tura’s signature lacquered and parchment-finished goatskin, this highly distinctive cabinet is ingeniously modeled as an oversized book resting upon a sculptural X-form stand.
The cabinet opens to reveal a mirrored and illuminated interior fitted with glass shelving, creating an elegant display and serving space for fine spirits, glassware, and bar accessories. The exterior showcases the rich mottled amber and tobacco tones characteristic of Aldo Tura's celebrated lacquered goatskin surfaces, while the book-inspired form and dramatic silhouette embody the sophisticated glamour of Italian modernist design.
The reverse retains the original gilt script markings, including the Aldo Tura signature.
Both a functional bar and a sculptural conversation piece, this rare cabinet exemplifies the luxurious craftsmanship and imaginative design for which Aldo Tura remains highly sought after.
