"Four Seasons" Art Deco Sideboard/Buffet with Gilded Bronze Mounts, 1940s France

About the Item

Cleanly designed and beautifully crafted, this 1940s Art Deco sideboard or buffet is finished with gorgeous panels of Macassar ebony veneer, laid in a vertical and diagonal pattern to create a subtle geometric effect on the front side of the piece. The sideboard has four paneled doors, each featuring what we would consider the greatest detail of this piece -- four gilded bronze mounts, superbly sculpted, representing the Four Seasons. One mount features Old Man Winter with an stylized snowflake to one side; one features a satyr shown with the bounty of the vineyard, representing Autumn; a third, Primavera, depicts a female youth framed with spring flowers; and the fourth, summer, is framed by the plantings of the hot, sunny season in France. The sideboard is elevated on a recessed platform finished in sycamore. The top is protected by a glass panel.

"Jump Shot, " Model for Art Deco Bronze Basketball Award Plaque, 1940s

"Shore Leave, " Large Art Deco Mural with Sailors at New Orleans Brothel, 1940s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most striking and remarkable Art Deco paintings we have ever offered, this depiction of a group of 1940s sailors visiting a New Orleans brothel is full of boisterous energy and strong color, providing an amused and amusing view of Navy life during or after World War II. The sailors -- in their tight white pants and youthful swagger -- are enjoying the company of an array of brothel workers, reigned over by a madam dressed in ruby red, with two young paramours to her side. Taking it all in is a group of jeering young men in straw hats to the right, and a young gay...
