Lorenzo Burchiellaro (Venice, 1933 – 2017)An Important and Large Mid-Century Brutalist Coffee TableAtelier Burchiellaro, Italy, circa 1970.Description:A monumental and commanding low table of square proportions, epitomising the raw, sculptural elegance of the post-war Italian avant-garde while retaining a stately presence suited to the finest country house drawing room. The piece features four robust, cylindrical stained beech legs supporting a heavy, architectural top. The surface is meticulously clad in a geometric patchwork of hand-wrought copper plates, masterfully secured with exposed perimetric rivets. The metal displays an exceptional, undisturbed natural patination, yielding deep burnished tones, golden hues, and subtle iridescence born of half a century of gentle oxidation.Provenance:Private Collection.Condition Report:In very good country house condition. The timber structure remains structurally sound. The copper top retains its magnificent original patina with minor surface wear, light scratches, and intentional variances in tone consistent with age, authentic use, and the artist’s original tactile intent.#LorenzoBurchiellaro#BrutalistDesign#AuctionHouse#QuietLuxury#FineFurniture
