Charles Dudouyt Carved Oak Highboard with Brass Keys, France 1950s

About the Item

Featuring French designer, Charles Dudouyt’s signature style, this grandiose high board melds seamlessly with any style thanks to its elegant sense of lavishness. The oak form is elemental, enhanced by the rectangular carvings and details. With its graphic carvings on the doors and sides, this tall cabinet showcases Dudouyt’s Art Deco inspired aesthetic and impeccable attention to detail. As a major figure in early 20th-century French design, Dudouyt was known for his ability to move France’s design aesthetic from an elaborate classicism to a more modernist sensibility. This compact cabinet model is a beautiful example of his work, with a more contemporary form that still retains some influence from the predecessor art movements. The doors open to reveal a spacious interior, with adjustable shelves that can be customized to house any item. As a fundamentally functional type of furniture, this cabinet does more than serving its utilitarian purpose. The front is decorated with beautiful rectangular carvings and brass fittings crafted with utmost care and attention to detail. The French designer’s pieces generally show great balance between decorative and functional elements which is the case here as well. The design still primarily aims to serve as storage space, while also being a visual treat. The doors on the front can be opened with the help of brass keys, a small and charming feature. A favourite among Art Deco furniture collectors and enthusiasts, the work of Dudouyt is known for their rustic and modernist aesthetic. This high board is a testament to the quality of the designer’s work. The beautiful graphical carvings and modernist design make it a true statement piece. ?Condition: In good vintage condition.
