About the Item

A French Reconstruction oak cabinet comprising two sliding doors above two drawers, supported on angled legs. The brass handles are simple and modernist. The whole form is rational and anchored in modernity, emblematic of the post- war design period in France, called the 'French Reconstruction'. In this period, designers met the need to rebuild the country creating simple and practical furniture to satisfy the needs of their users, made of the materials readily available in the post-war period, combining aestheticism, robustness and sobriety, which resulted as a continued source of inspiration for a generation of future designers. France, circa 1946-50 Size: 39 1/2" high x 59" wide x 16 3/4" deep
