A goatskin bar cabinet on pedestal base by Aldo Tura, Italy, 1960s
A distinctive and highly collectible bar cabinet by Aldo Tura, dating to the 1960s, exemplifying the designer’s signature use of lacquered goatskin parchment. The cabinet features a rich, mottled surface with warm amber and honey tones, creating a striking depth and organic texture unique to Tura’s work.
The form is both sculptural and functional, raised on an elegant pedestal base and opening to reveal a fitted interior with glass shelving, designed for the display and storage of barware. The doors are adorned with decorative hardware, adding a subtle ornamental detail that complements the luxurious finish.
Aldo Tura pieces are celebrated for their craftsmanship and innovative material use, with goatskin parchment carefully treated and lacquered to achieve this distinctive appearance. The combination of refined design and unusual materials makes his work particularly sought after among collectors of mid-century Italian furniture.
This cabinet is a fine example of Tura’s aesthetic: bold yet elegant, functional yet decorative. Perfect as a statement piece in a sophisticated interior.
Condition: good vintage condition overall, with wear consistent with age and use. The surface shows some minor marks and signs of age to the lacquered goatskin, while the interior remains well preserved with light wear. The hardware and structure are in good order. Please refer to photographs.
Dimensions: 158cm high, 80cm wide, 41cm deep
