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. Created circa 1935, the sideboard exemplifies Deskey’s innovative approach, blending function with striking aesthetics. The body is crafted in bookmatched and burled Carpathian elm, showcasing a mesmerizing grain pattern and natural depth. The burled wood features intricate swirls and variations, embodying the richness and sophistication that defined Art Deco’s opulent design ethos. 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. This sideboard reflects his ability to elevate items of daily use into works of art, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. In Mint Restored Condition.
