Armoire in Teak and Woven Rattan, France, 1960

About the Item

A study in restraint and texture, this tall, singular armoire rises like a quiet monolith—its façade defined by a single woven plane set flush within a clean teak frame. The silhouette is austere, but the material language is tactile and luminous: a soft interplay of light gliding across the chevron-patterned rattan, anchored by the satin warmth of honeyed wood. Crafted in France circa 1960, the piece reflects a convergence of modernist discipline and vernacular craft. It recalls the sensibility of postwar French ateliers that embraced natural fibers and honest materials, following the path laid by designers such as Audoux-Minet and Charlotte Perriand. Here, woven rattan transcends the merely decorative—it becomes structural, almost architectural, a woven field that breathes and filters light like a screen. The joinery is discreet, the proportions rigorous. The vertical format—tall, narrow, and spatially efficient—suggests it was conceived for modest urban interiors or chambres de bonne, where verticality becomes an elegant necessity. The interior is unlined and unadorned, echoing the raw simplicity of its exterior. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. This is a functional totem: elemental, light, and disciplined. It offers quiet storage, but more so, it offers rhythm and calm to a room. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.

Petite Armoire with Diamond-Relief Panels in Oak, France
Located in Kaštel Sućurac, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
Slender and architectural, this petite armoire stands with the poise of a column—narrow in stance, yet rich in detail. Its twin doors are carved in sharp diamond-point relief, each facet catching shadow like folded linen or cut stone. The central drawer is chamfered into a prismatic silhouette, echoing the geometries above and below with quiet symmetry. All is held within a frame of softened oak, timeworn to a parchment hue. Attributed to a provincial workshop in the tradition of Art Populaire, the piece reflects a postwar reverence for material integrity and craft discipline. The geometric motifs—reminiscent of Gothic tracery or early Renaissance coffered...
