Walnut Side Chest With Solid Walnut Drawers in the Style of Gio Ponti

This walnut side chests dates to the 1960's and is an example of "brutalist" or "mid-century socialist" furniture design, in the style of Gio Ponti. The furniture and art of Eastern Europe in the post-war period generally followed Western European models but was often more aggressively styled. The casework is chunky and the solid walnut drawer fronts are angular representations of a landscape from Czechoslovakia.   .
