Superb walnut and brass coffee table designed by Italian mid-century designer, Guglielmo Ulrich. The striking rectangular onyx top resting on an elegant walnut and brass base.

Furniture designer Guglielmo Ulrich was born in Milan to a family with Danish origins. After completing his studies at the Brera Academy, the Scuola Speciale di Architettura and the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1927, Ulrich’s status quickly rose in high-society circles, as he’d gained a reputation for creating elegant interiors for a range of commercial and private clients. Architecture and furniture design in Milan was evolving during the era owing to industrialisation, and Ulrich’s modernist work was seen as fresh and forward-looking.
