About the Item

Elevated on tapered legs with the quiet poise of modernist intention, this buffet possesses a restrained elegance—its form at once aerated and architectural. The three-panel façade is distinguished by a rhythmic chevron parquetry, framed within softened rectangular mouldings that subtly catch and diffuse the light across its textured grain. The result is both graphic and serene, an interplay of geometry and warmth. In the style of Guillerme et Chambron, whose work navigated the space between rustic modernism and refined utility, this piece channels the postwar French sensibility for domestic clarity—where craftsmanship and proportion were privileged above ornament. The angular stance of the legs and integrated stretcher evoke their signature vocabulary of subtle angularity and artisanal honesty. Produced during the Reconstruction era of the 1950s, this buffet reflects the broader ethos of mid-century French design: a return to human-scaled forms, regional materials, and architectural simplicity. It is imbued with the clarity of purpose that defined furniture of this time—unembellished, yet highly intentional in its detail. Crafted in solid oak with veneered chevron fronts, the construction reveals meticulous joinery: mitered corners, recessed paneling, and original bronze escutcheons with matching keys. The oak has been gently desaturated through time and handling, yielding a soft, silvery patina that invites the touch. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. No refinishing has been undertaken, in order to preserve the wood’s natural oxidized hue. With its lifted stance and minimal ornamentation, the piece breathes within a room—it offers storage, certainly, but also acts as a floating plane of quiet presence, ideal for anchoring modern interiors with subtle gravitas. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
