These are antique pieces and are sold as such. Although VV does its best to highlight major flaws, minor imperfections should be expected reflecting the age and previous use of the piece.
This travertine pedestal side table, attributed to P. A. Giusti and E. Di Rosa for Up & Up, exemplifies the sculptural sophistication of Italian stone furniture from the postwar era — where the conical base and circular top reduce the object to its most essential geometric logic.
The conical base — rising to a finely balanced round top — creates a silhouette that appears almost levitated, achieving stability through the precise distribution of stone weight rather than through mechanical complexity. The travertine surface displays subtle tonal variations in beige and camel, with the characteristic natural veining and porosity of high-quality Italian stone from this period.
Up & Up was one of the most rigorous Italian manufacturers of stone furniture in the 1970s, working exclusively with natural stone and producing pieces for designers including Giovanni Offredi and Angelo Mangiarotti. An attribution to Giusti and Di Rosa situates this piece within that precise tradition — formal restraint, material honesty, and a structural intelligence that makes the object appear inevitable.
A resolved and elegant example of Italian postwar stone design — small in scale, significant in presence.
