Wooden Side Table attributed after Charles Dudouyt, France ca 1940s

About the Item

In the 1940s, French design experienced a shift toward robust craftsmanship and expressive, sculptural forms. Among the key figures of this era was Charles Dudouyt, known for his bold use of solid wood, rhythmic carving, and rustic modern sensibility. Dudouyt’s work, and pieces like this that are inspired by his work, stand apart for its fusion of traditional craftsmanship with a distinctly modern character, often emphasizing tactile textures and architectural silhouettes. This wooden side table embodies many of the hallmarks of his celebrated style. The table features a strong, sculptural central column carved in a series of evenly spaced, angular notches, a timeless motif. The dark-stained wood reveals a rich grain and depth, enhancing the organic beauty of the carved surface. The circular top with gently softened edges provides a practical surface, while the base is anchored by a robust, carved circular platform supported by three ball feet. The overall construction is solid and balanced, but what distinguishes this piece is its dynamic interplay of shapes: the bold geometry of the column contrasts with the smooth curves of the base and top. This sense of proportion reflects the maker’s background in both cabinetmaking and art, speaking to their interest in giving weight and presence to utilitarian forms. With its commanding silhouette and richly finished surface, this side table functions as both a practical accent and a sculptural element within an interior. It works beautifully beside a lounge chair or as a standalone statement piece, introducing warmth, texture, and a distinctly French decorative spirit to any setting. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Small slit on the tray and marks on the wood. Dimensions: 12.01 in ⌀ x 21.26 in H 30.5 cm ⌀ x 54 cm H
