	THE DECORATIVE ANTIQUES & TEXTILES FAIR 21-26 April 2009 London
	DURING OUR SECOND EXHIBITION AT THE DECORATIVE FAIR, IT WAS OUR PLEASURE TO ALLOW TO PHOTOGRAPH OUR RARE ITALIAN CABINET, ATTRIBUTED TO THE ARCHITECT PAOLO BUFFA AND COMING FROM AN EXCLUSIVE VILLA PLACED NEAR THE COMO LAKE. THE CABINET, AUTHENTIC IN EACH OF ITS PARTS, IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ITALIAN CREATIVITY  AND QUALITY OF THE PERIOD BETWEEN 1940-1950, WHEN FURNISHINGS LIKE THIS  WERE MADE IN LIMITED PRODUCTIONS AND CRAFTED BY SKILLED ARTISANS UNDER ARCHITECTS' DESIGN. FREQUENTLY, AS WITH THIS CABINET, THESE ITEMS WERE DECORATED BY ARTISTS, OFTEN UNDER DIRECT REQUEST FROM THE OWNER OF THE VILLA. MANY THANKS TO THE DECORATIVE FAIR, THAT SEIZED THE QUALITY AND THE PECULIARITY OF THE CABINET AND WANTED TO PHOTOGRAPH IT.
