Tuscany Writing Table

Description

The Tuscany Writing Table was inspired by furnishings of Italian country villas. Tuscany is a region in central Italy which is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, and artistic legacy. Its capital is Florence, a city known the world over for its art, culture, and museums like the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace. Tuscany is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and has been home to many figures influential in the history of art and science. Tuscany produces wines, including Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano and Brunello di Montalcino. Having a strong linguistic and cultural identity, it is sometimes considered “a nation within a nation”. As its name suggests, the Tuscany Writing Table looks as though it was found in a villa in the heart of Tuscany. Its metal base is made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a sand mold that can be used only once. The rough casting is smoothed by a master craftsman. This is done by hand-filing which is a long and laborious process. The base is available in a variety of finishes. The top with drawers is entirely handcrafted of the finest rosewood. The massive fasteners and heavy drawer pulls are solid bronze. With its European style timeless elegance, it makes an exceptional writing table for upscale residential and hospitality interiors. Robust metal construction allows the table base to support its heavy wood top without flexing. Four polished bronze glides are provided which also serve as levelers – a useful feature to have when the floor is uneven. Custom sizing is available. The Tuscany Writing Table was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD.
