Art Deco Poudreuse Desk in Birchwood and Black Lacquer, Francs 1930s

About the Item

Step into the golden era of design with this breathtaking 1930s French Art Deco poudreuse, a rare piece that effortlessly merges elegance and utility. Whether used as a vanity, console, or writing desk, this exceptional furnishing invites timeless sophistication into any interior. Its sleek profile and clever functionality make it far more than just a dressing table — it is a true centerpiece. The piece is crafted from high gloss birchwood and richly figured burl wood, offering a warm, golden-toned contrast to the deep black of its gracefully curved base. The U-shaped pedestal, finished in mirror-polished black lacquer, gives the impression that the desk surface is suspended in air — a design that evokes both strength and lightness in equal measure. This architectural feature brings a sculptural elegance that sets it apart from conventional desks or consoles. True to the Art Deco tradition, the craftsmanship is impeccable. Two sleek side drawers with chrome handles offer discreet storage, while the central compartment features a fold-away mirror. With a soft lift, the center panel opens to reveal a hidden vanity section — a luxurious touch that whispers of vintage glamour. Whether used as a coiffeuse, poudreuse, or even a stylish desk, the versatility of this piece makes it ideal for dressing rooms, bedrooms, or even chic home offices. Painstakingly restored by expert artisans, every element — from the high-gloss finish to the custom-fit locking mechanism — has been revived to honor the original materials and proportions. The natural brilliance of the birchwood veneer is preserved and enhanced, making this console not only a functional item but a work of art in itself.
