About the Item

A quiet monument in wood, this mid-century French sideboard unfolds like a façade—its rhythmic relief of sculpted squares casting deep shadows across the grain. Each panel receives light as if part of a Romanesque cloister: sacred geometry reimagined in rural oak. The silhouette is monolithic, grounded, with a subtle cornice and squared legs that elevate without ornament. In the spirit of De Coene Frères and Casa Biosca, this piece captures the postwar return to artisanal rigor and architectural solidity. The façade’s deep carvings recall the relief work of Gothic revival, filtered through a modernist restraint. It echoes the noble austerity seen in the furniture of Guillerme et Chambron and the sculptural sobriety of Spanish designer Manuel Muñoz. Rooted in the French Reconstruction era, the sideboard exemplifies a regional interpretation of modernism—rural, tactile, and reverent of pre-industrial craft. The decorative panels, arranged in a strict quad-pattern across four doors, form a grid that balances ornament with order. The carved geometry softens under hand-planed edges and gently worn corners. Executed in solid oak, the joinery is robust, with traditional pegged construction and wrought-iron escutcheons that reference 17th-century French cabinetry. Its surface carries a muted, matte patina—likely lime-washed or lightly stripped—revealing the open grain of aged oak in its most honest state. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. With its imposing scale and solemn cadence, the sideboard holds presence in a space much like a retaining wall—resolute, textural, and timeless. It invites placement along stone walls, beneath beams, or in modernist contexts where rustic geometry may speak with quiet force. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.

Brutalist Sideboard Oak, France, 1950s

By Charles Dudouyt

Located in Kaštel Sućurac, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija

This sculptural sideboard holds a quiet monumentality—its façade a study in balance, depth, and geometric relief. Two symmetrical doors are adorned with deeply carved concentric medallions, each centered within a bevel-edged square that projects from the surface like a wooden echo. Between them, five central drawers offer rhythmic contrast with their horizontal fluting, lending a linear tension to the rounded volumes flanking them. In the style of Charles Dudouyt, this piece reflects the postwar fascination with medieval forms reinterpreted through modernist clarity. The carved motif—a recessed bull’s-eye framed in architectural moldings—recalls the rustic abstraction seen in French design of the 1940s and ’50s, where massing, form, and shadow did the work of ornament. Carved from solid oak, the cabinet is grounded by splayed bracket legs that introduce a subtle kinetic lift. Their flared stance balances the robust body above, suggesting movement held in suspension. The drawer pulls are brass discs, minimal in gesture yet warm in tone, allowing the sculptural surfaces to speak. Inside, the cabinet offers generous storage behind paneled doors, while the drawers glide with dovetail construction and timeworn ease. A visible fissure on one of the door medallions...
