About the Item

This exceptional Art Deco sideboard designed by Donald Deskey, one of the most prominent figures of the American Art Deco movement, is a masterful combination of luxury, craftsmanship, and modern styling.

The black lacquer accents provide bold contrast, emphasizing clean lines and geometric forms characteristic of the period. Deskey’s attention to detail extends to the elegant sculptural integrated pulls, which complements the sideboard’s overall design. Donald Deskey, best known for his design work on iconic interiors such as Radio City Music Hall in New York, is a celebrated pioneer in modern American design.
