About the Item
A commanding expression of alpine craftsmanship, this monumental oak buffet marries vernacular strength with sculptural detail. Its façade, composed of deeply recessed geometric panels, evokes a rhythm of light and shadow—each carving a quiet echo of centuries-old joinery traditions, now reimagined through a mid-century lens.
Likely produced in a provincial workshop during the 1940s, the piece resonates with the rustic clarity seen in postwar chalet interiors, where robust construction met the emerging language of French modernism. The wrought-iron hinges and pulls add a graphic counterpoint, suggesting a lineage aligned with Charlotte Perriand’s Alpine commissions and the revivalist spirit of French mountain architecture.
The solid oak structure has been finished using JADA’s signature finish, drawing out the raw, tactile grain while softening its visual mass. The resulting patina reveals both the honesty of the material and the patience of the artisan’s hand. Beneath, an arched stretcher and elegant hoof-foot base provide a sense of architectural lift—balancing its imposing form with a touch of grace.
Its condition is testament to quiet endurance: structurally impeccable, with subtle wear at the corners and original hardware throughout. The drawers slide with a satisfying weight, and the carved doors—each slightly varied by hand—add a human rhythm to its otherwise symmetrical rigor.
This is a piece that anchors space. Ideal in a dining room or gallery-like interior, it converses naturally with Brutalist volumes, Perriand-style chalets, or interiors that embrace wabi-sabi restraint.
Available for private acquisition. For placement consultation or further details, please contact our specialists.
