French Art Deco Rosewood Sideboard With Bar, 1940's
About the Item
Step into an era of timeless elegance and sophistication with this stunning 1940s French Art Deco sideboard, a masterpiece that evokes the golden age of design and craftsmanship. This 76" long, 39" tall buffet, inspired by the works of Jules Leleu and Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, is more than just furniture—it’s an experience in itself, reserved for those with a discerning eye for the extraordinary.
Crafted from the finest rosewood, adorned with delicate mahogany inlays, this sideboard radiates warmth and grandeur. The craftsmanship is impeccable, with intricate metal silver embellishments gracing the keyholes—reminiscent of Celtic elegance fused with the geometric allure of both Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements. These meticulously crafted silver ornaments form a striking contrast against the deep, rich tones of the wood, offering a visual experience as refined as your collection of single malts.
The buffet is thoughtfully divided into three sections:
Two side compartments feature beautifully concealed shelves and a delicate top drawer, perfect for your most prized items.
The true pièce de résistance is the middle section—a hidden revolving bar that opens to reveal two exquisite demilune shelves, with gold metal rails perfectly designed to cradle your finest scotch, cognacs, or decanters. The polished rosewood and mahogany inlays on the fronts of these shelves add yet another layer of sophistication, ensuring that every detail is a testament to impeccable craftsmanship.
A final silver ornament, like a glimmering ribbon of elegance, stretches across the base of the middle section, adding a finishing touch that captures the spirit of bespoke luxury. With its original key intact, this sideboard not only promises functionality but also a touch of history—offering a sense of legacy to your space.
A Legacy of Design Excellence
Jules Leleu (1883–1961), a Parisian master of Art Deco design, was known for his refined yet luxurious aesthetic, creating pieces that graced prestigious spaces like the ocean liner Normandie. His designs often featured lavish woods and intricate metalwork, much like this buffet, with a subtle opulence that transcends time.
Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann (1879–1933) was one of the most celebrated designers of the Art Deco period, renowned for his masterful use of luxurious materials and his bold, elegant forms. Ruhlmann's influence can be felt in this sideboard's exquisite balance of geometric lines, rich woods, and opulent embellishments, creating a piece that is as functional as it is a work of art.
Imagine the Lifestyle
Picture yourself in your finely appointed study, a glass of perfectly aged whiskey resting within reach, pulled from the revolving bar that has so cleverly stowed away your spirits. The warm glow of the room reflects off the silver hardware, while your humidor quietly awaits in the side cabinet. The only thing missing? A plush leather club chair, an engaging novel, and an Afghan hound lying lazily by your feet.
This buffet, credenza, or dry bar is more than just furniture—it’s an invitation to indulge in the finer things in life.
