About the Item

A monumental credenza buffet attributed to Jean-Charles Moreux, France circa 1940s. Large in scale with classic art deco features. Cerused oak finish with brass accents and center glass cupboard. Whimsical relief carvings of mermaids and ships. Doors open to reveal two adjustable height shelves. Two keys included. Sourced in France. Jean-Charles Moreux (1889–1956) was a French architect, landscape designer, and decorator known for his elegant, neoclassical yet imaginative approach to design. A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Moreux became a key figure in the early 20th-century French design scene, particularly during the interwar period. He designed bespoke furniture that echoed classical forms but with a poetic and sometimes surrealist touch—often incorporating natural motifs like leaves, branches, and animals.
