Mid-Century Modern Dining Table & Six Chairs by Umberto Mascagni, Italian, 1950
Mid-Century Modern Dining Table and Six Chairs by Umberto Mascagni, the table with a cinnabar red chinoiserie top, the matching six chairs covered in cream and textured vinyl, the table and chair legs with red textured vinyl, banded, mounted, and molded with Anodized Aluminum. Retailed by Harrods, London.
Table Measurements: D-32 x W-56 x H-30 inches
Chair Measurements: D-17.5 x W-18 x H-38; Seat Height: 18 inches
Matching sideboard and mirror listed separately. Umberto Mascagni founded Mascagni in 1930. Surprisingly there is very little scholarship to date on this highly original and innovative designer who broke new ground with his experimentation in the use of unorthodox materials, particularly anodized aluminum, a process where the aluminum is strengthened many times over, leaving it immune to chipping, peeling or flaking. Mascagni’s faux leather upholstered case goods were another significant innovation. Together these seemingly incompatible materials form mixed-media works of art, offering up distinctive visual cues from the Atomic Age.
