Console THE COLLECTOR by Roberto Giulio Rida

Unique and nonreplicable specimen made entirely by hand in Italy with vintage blue glass and hand-ground and shaped crystal.

This particular sculptural work by Roberto Giulio Rida is a magnificent example of skilled craftsmanship and aesthetic courage.
The horizontal body covered in vintage blue glass is supported by four conical bronze legs.
Inside is a hidden snakewood veneered storage drawer divided into eight containers each fitted with a glass lid.
The mechanical movement of the drawer is equipped with an internal brake, which ensures a safe closing of the drawer, even when subjected to too strong a manual push, in order to avoid damage and breakage.
The large drawer is crossed centrally by a large wooden pyramidal sculpture entirely covered with mosaic-shaped crystal shards.
The top part of the sculpture is a removable piece from the console top while the part underneath is attached to the bottom.
The console comes complete with 2 fumigated wooden crates in accordance with the law for international exports, one for the central body and one for the upper part of the sculpture.
