Description
We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as we strive to provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our pieces.
This elegant blonde walnut side table boasts a refined design and a sturdy structure. Unlike traditional models, it does not have legs but instead features two lateral panels that connect directly to the tabletop, ensuring exceptional stability. Beneath the top, a spacious and practical drawer is fitted with a rare glass handle. The entire table is veneered in blonde walnut. European blonde walnut (Juglans regia) is a highly prized wood, considered one of the finest in terms of quality. It is distinguished by its light color with warm yellowish hues and pronounced grain patterns, characteristics that make it especially valued in luxury furniture design. This hardwood is renowned for its striking grain and flame patterns, which have been appreciated for centuries. Due to its unique aesthetic appeal and limited availability—only a small portion of each tree can be used—blonde walnut furniture is both sought after and expensive. This side table was crafted between 1925 and 1930 in Cantù, a town in the province of Como (Lombardy, Italy), renowned for its artisan furniture production. For centuries, Cantù has been synonymous with excellence in woodworking, creating high-end furnishings for an elite clientele. The table dates back to the Fascist era (1922–1943), a period when Italy saw the rise of various architectural and design styles, including Rationalism. This movement was characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a strong emphasis on functionality. Italian Rationalism of the 1920s and 1930s found parallels with several European movements, particularly the German Bauhaus, sharing its focus on functionality and simplicity. However, Italian Rationalism maintained a distinctive identity, incorporating elements of classical tradition. Its designs were marked by essential, functional forms, devoid of superfluous ornamentation, with lightweight, geometric structures and a minimalist aesthetic. Notable furniture designers of this era include Giuseppe Terragni, Franco Albini, Luigi Figini, and Gino Pollini. With its compact dimensions, this side table embodies the perfect balance between functionality and style, a hallmark of Rationalist design. Its impeccable craftsmanship and precise joinery highlight the exceptional skill of Italian cabinetmakers. The clean lines and well-proportioned structure reflect the Rationalist aesthetic, while the warm blonde walnut finish adds a touch of elegance and warmth to any setting. More than just a functional piece, this table serves as a historical testament to a period of great cultural and artistic innovation in Italy. Its versatility makes it suitable for various living spaces: it can serve as a statement piece in a living room or a practical accent in a study or bedroom. Owning this side table means adding a unique piece to your collection—one that tells the story of Italian design while enhancing any space with its understated yet sophisticated presence. The table has been fully restored and is in excellent condition.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
