Oak Sideboard by Gaston Poisson, France, 1940s
About the Item
Sculpted in stoic relief yet softened by time, this oak sideboard by Gaston Poisson asserts a quiet monumentality. Its architectural presence is anchored by fluted cylindrical feet, while the front façade alternates between stark paneling and rhythmic geometric carving, rendering the piece a sculptural composition in light and shadow.
A key figure in mid-century French design, Gaston Poisson imbued his cabinetry with a restrained elegance that nods to both Art Deco geometry and postwar functionalism. This sideboard, produced in the 1940s, bears his signature aesthetic language—clean planes, chiselled volumes, and subtle symmetry—crafted in the noble materiality of solid oak. It resonates with the rural modernism emerging from provincial ateliers in the postwar years, echoing a lineage shared with contemporaries like Charles Dudouyt and André Arbus.
The oak has been gently bleached to reveal its raw, tactile grain—an approach that celebrates the wood’s organic texture while aligning it with contemporary sensibilities. Inside, a darker interior of polished mahogany provides contrast, punctuated by a marquetry trim of fine inlay—a whisper of artisanal flourish reserved for the informed eye.
Structurally sound and with all original joinery intact, this piece carries its age with grace. Subtle abrasions and softened corners mark its authentic passage through time, further elevated by the sculptural rhythm of its stepped base and carved facades.
With its weighty form and graphic restraint, the sideboard commands space without excess. Ideal for Brutalist, Wabi-Sabi, or layered European interiors, it lends a sense of grounded refinement and sculptural clarity.
Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.

Credenza in Carved Oak with Marble Top, France, 1940s
A sculptural monolith in sun-bleached oak, this credenza evokes the quiet grandeur of pastoral life, its façade animated by a deeply carved bucolic scene—a cottage, trees in leaf, a solitary figure mid-walk—etched with reverence into the very grain. The silhouette is solemn yet generous, framed by beveled moldings and resting on curled feet, each adorned with stylized foliage. A slab of black marble crowns...
