Square Side Table In Green Goatskin Leather, Mid-20th Century, Signed Aldo Tura

A mid-century Italian side table in green grained goatskin leather, signed Aldo Tura (1970s),
with its original label affixed beneath the tabletop.
The table's simple, minimalist form highlights the goatskin veneer. The natural color features light, almost beige areas alongside areas ranging from green to dark green. The flowing shades of green in the goatskin create a rich and vibrant grain.
Tables from this period often exhibit damage to the original varnish. Following meticulous restoration, we repaired the scratches and chips, then applied a new coat of varnish. The result is an impeccable table, with the goatskin veneer once again perfectly protected. The table is signed and bears the "TURA" label beneath the tabletop.

Born in 1909, the Italian designer and manufacturer Aldo Tura launched his own furniture production in Lombardy in 1939. At the crossroads of Art Deco and Modernism, he created unique, high-quality furniture and accessories characterized by the use of fine materials, sculptural forms, and artisanal techniques. His works are highly prized by collectors, particularly his exotic finishes in eggshell, goatskin, and parchment, in a palette of greens, reds, and yellows.
