About This Piece

Vintage Design

An authentic masterpiece by Aldo Tura, this exceptional four-panel screen made in the 1960s represents one of the rarest and most elegant expressions of post-war Italian decorative design.
Entirely covered front and back in natural parchment dyed by hand in the unmistakable golden shades of honey, it is an emblematic example of Tura's extraordinary craftsmanship and sophisticated aesthetics.
The screen is divided into four panels mounted on burnished brass hinges, each characterized by a curved shape in the upper part, which alternates semi-circular modules with a sculptural graphic rhythm.
The sequence of arches and vertical solids creates a highly refined visual movement, transforming the object into a three-dimensional work of art capable of dialoguing with the architecture of the space.
The parchment surface is mirror-polished, as per Aldo Tura tradition, returning vibrant reflections and unique chromatic depths: each panel is a material, alive and iridescent landscape.
The warm and luminous palette gives the piece a sophisticated and timeless presence, ideal for representative environments, boutique hotels or high-end collectors' interiors.
Tura's production of screens is extremely limited, making this piece an absolute rarity on the market.
The work perfectly embodies the designer's philosophy: to blend functionality and theatricality, luxurious materials and bold shapes, in creations that go beyond the concept of furniture to become applied art.

About the Creator

Aldo Tura

Born in 1909, Italian designer-maker Aldo Tura established his furniture production house in Lombardy in 1939. Working between the idioms of Art Deco and modernism, Tura created singular, high-end furniture and accessories that were typified by rich materials, sculptural forms, and high-end, artisanal techniques. Tura’s work has become highly collectible, especially examples with exotic finishes— like eggshell, goatskin, and parchment—in intense palettes of red, green, and yellow.

Tura was one of the most unique design talents of the Italian midcentury. In the postwar years, as many furniture producers were adjusting their production methods toward mass production, Tura remained committed to slow, traditional hand craftsmanship. He favored intricate, complex forms and labor-intensive processes that could never by replicated in a large-scale factory system. As a result, the number of works by Tura available on the vintage market remains limited.

Today, Tura’s company continues to produce high-end, deco-esque furniture in Lombardy, but much information about Tura himself has been lost to history. The Brooklyn Museum in New York owns a handful of Tura designs that were originally exhibited in the 1950-53 traveling exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today.
