About the Item

Rustic mass and rhythmic carving — a sculptural fragment of French néo-rustique modernism. This striking buffet channels the powerful vocabulary of Charles Dudouyt, where furniture reads as architecture in solid oak. The composition centers on three vertical bays: a recessed open niche with a carved door below, framed by two large paneled doors. Each outer door is worked with Dudouyt’s signature concentric circular bosses, projecting from the surface like wooden medallions and catching light in deep relief. Flanking the façade, bold bobbin-turned columns run from top to apron, giving the piece a totemic presence and emphasizing its vertical rhythm. The lower central door introduces a contrasting geometric motif — a starburst of intersecting facets — that punctuates the otherwise symmetrical front with a dynamic, almost cubist accent. Above, the thick oak top sits with quiet authority, its softened edges and pale patina revealing years of careful use. A scalloped apron and rounded front feet lift the volume just off the floor, tempering its weight with a touch of movement. The oak has been finished in a light, chalky tone that brings out the grain while aligning the piece with contemporary interiors; the overall effect is both rustic and resolutely modern. Behind the doors and within the niche, generous storage makes this buffet as functional as it is sculptural — equally at home in a dining room, entry, or as a statement console. Wear is consistent with age, with softened corners and a lived-in surface that enhance rather than diminish its character; the structure remains sound and substantial. Available for private acquisition. For detailed dimensions, placement consultation, or collector inquiries, please contact our specialists.
