French Pine Commode with Turned Legs and Forged Handles
About the Item
Robust in presence yet restrained in ornament, this French pine commode from the 1940s is a study in sculptural utility. With softly rounded edges and turned ball feet, it embodies the rustic modernism of postwar alpine interiors—where craftsmanship and clarity were prized above embellishment.
The three full-width drawers are framed in broad stiles, their surfaces gently weathered and marked by the organic rhythms of the wood grain. Forged iron handles with a twisted silhouette introduce a folkloric gesture, recalling hand-forged ironwork found in vernacular mountain architecture.
The piece likely originated in a regional workshop, steeped in local traditions yet subtly attuned to the evolving design ethos of mid-century France. Its proportions and functionality mirror the practical elegance of Perriand’s Savoyard collaborations, while its hand-finished warmth roots it firmly in the domestic sphere.
The solid pine has been lightly bleached using JADA’s signature technique, revealing a luminous topography of fine lines, knots, and oxidized traces. Its patina is authentic: drawer interiors bear the touch of use, corners have softened, and the iron has mellowed to a velvety black.
Modest in scale but strong in character, this piece integrates effortlessly into wabi-sabi, Brutalist, or alpine modern spaces—offering a sculptural moment of calm and tactility.
Available for private acquisition. For further details or curatorial placement assistance, please inquire directly.
