A French Art Deco Sideboard with Beveled Front and Three Drawers

About the Item

This is an exceptionally simple late Art Deco sideboard from France, c. 1940's. The piece features a sharply angled and deeply beveled front and base, with the walnut wood grain running vertically, like parquetry, in small sections. The doors are large and broad, with the grain running horizontally to accentuate the piece's length. In the center are 3 stacked drawers with simple, solid brass handles. The doors open to two large storage areas divided horizontally by a shelf in the center. The doors are lockable by solid brass keys, which are very heavy, solid, and decorative enough to leave in. The walnut veneers quietly dramatize, cascading and stepping across door fronts and edges. The condition of the piece is excellent, considering its age, with only minor losses to the corners of some veneer sections. Instead of replacing the veneers (and not matching them), the restorers have opted to smooth them out and fill losses with lacquer. The surface has a buffed appearance, without excessive gloss. The piece has an almost mid-century modern appearance and blends easily with contemporary interior design.

French Art Deco Sideboard with Floral Marquetry and Inward-Curved Front, 1930s
Located in Ulm, DE
This exquisite Art Deco sideboard from France, dating to the 1930s, is a masterwork of early 20th-century decorative arts — striking in both silhouette and craftsmanship. Its inwardly curved front sets it apart: a sculptural gesture that draws the gaze to its center, where a breathtaking marquetry medallion in warm-toned fruitwoods unfurls like a blooming bouquet. Accents in polished brass punctuate the composition with refined brilliance. Crafted from a symphony of richly grained woods, the surface shimmers under a lustrous, hand-polished French shellac finish, applied in the traditional manner to enhance depth and clarity. The sideboard rests on a sleek, black lacquered plinth that subtly contrasts the warmth of the wood and reinforces its architectural presence. Behind four doors — framed by veneered sunburst patterns that radiate from the center — lie generous storage compartments, beautifully finished inside and perfectly suited for dining essentials, collectibles, or even media equipment. The dimensions of this statement piece — 190 cm (74.8”) wide, 97.5 cm (38.4”) high, and 46 cm (18.1”) deep — make it a commanding yet elegant presence in both classic and contemporary interiors. Whether used as a buffet in a dining room, a console in an entryway, or a stylish bar or media cabinet, this original 1930s Art Deco commode...
