About the Item
Buffet with Sculpted Wave Panels and Marble Top in Oak, France, 1940s
A composition of subtle movement and mineral stillness, this French buffet balances the tactile warmth of carved oak with the cool permanence of veined marble.
Three front panels undulate in gentle waves, catching light with a quiet rhythm, while the central door remains flat and restrained—an axis of stillness flanked by motion. The black marble top, rich with white veining, sits like a geological crown atop this lyrical yet grounded form.
Attributed to a provincial workshop working in the spirit of postwar Reconstruction, the piece embodies a dialogue between traditional joinery and modernist restraint. Its gently tapered legs and extended perimeter apron lift the structure with a sense of ease, almost levitation, in contrast to the weight of its stone top.
The oak has been left raw, allowing the full depth of its grain to surface—rippled, pale, and softly burnished by time. The sculpted panels are hewn with confidence, suggesting both artisan hand and rhythmic vision.
Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina.
This buffet asserts itself quietly within a space—a sculptural mass animated by rhythm, material contrast, and the elegant equilibrium of horizontal proportions.
Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.

Brutalist Sideboard Oak, France, 1950s
By Charles Dudouyt
Located in Kaštel Sućurac, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
This sculptural sideboard holds a quiet monumentality—its façade a study in balance, depth, and geometric relief. Two symmetrical doors are adorned with deeply carved concentric medallions, each centered within a bevel-edged square that projects from the surface like a wooden echo. Between them, five central drawers offer rhythmic contrast with their horizontal fluting, lending a linear tension to the rounded volumes flanking them.
In the style of Charles Dudouyt, this piece reflects the postwar fascination with medieval forms reinterpreted through modernist clarity. The carved motif—a recessed bull’s-eye framed in architectural moldings—recalls the rustic abstraction seen in French design of the 1940s and ’50s, where massing, form, and shadow did the work of ornament.
Carved from solid oak, the cabinet is grounded by splayed bracket legs that introduce a subtle kinetic lift. Their flared stance balances the robust body above, suggesting movement held in suspension. The drawer pulls are brass discs, minimal in gesture yet warm in tone, allowing the sculptural surfaces to speak.
Inside, the cabinet offers generous storage behind paneled doors, while the drawers glide with dovetail construction and timeworn ease. A visible fissure on one of the door medallions...
