About the Item
René Gabriel Oak Sideboard (France, 1940s)
"Il faut que l'art descende dans la rue."
"Art must come down into the street."
— René Gabriel
A masterpiece of post-war French design, this oak sideboard is attributed to René Gabriel, a pioneering figure of the Reconstruction era. Designed for the Service des Constructions Provisoires, it embodies the philosophy of functional beauty, democratic design, and uncompromising craftsmanship—hallmarks of Gabriel’s enduring legacy.
Meticulously crafted from solid French oak, the piece showcases clean architectural lines, a structured composition, and impeccable joinery. The rhythmic repetition of square panels and chamfered drawer pulls evokes a quiet sense of order, while the honest, natural finish accentuates the wood’s inherent depth and warmth. Elevated on subtly tapered legs, it exudes strength, balance, and understated elegance—a testament to Gabriel’s vision of resilience through design.
This piece has been carefully restored to preserve its integrity while respecting its original patina and traces of time. Signs of age, including light surface stains on the top, remain as a testament to its history and authenticity. For further details, we welcome inquiries from discerning collectors and invite you to consult our design specialists.
