About the Item

With its striking geometric façade and raw materiality, this 1950s French Brutalist sideboard is a testament to the sculptural artistry of midcentury design. Crafted from solid oak, its architectural composition is defined by deeply carved, recessed paneling—each facet catching the light to create a dynamic interplay of depth and shadow. The central column of drawers, adorned with layered moldings, echoes the rhythmic precision of the flanking cabinet doors, enhancing the piece’s symmetrical balance. Rooted in the Brutalist and Art Moderne traditions, this design reflects the influence of Charles Dudouyt and the postwar European movement that embraced bold forms and unembellished craftsmanship. The natural oak has been gently aged to reveal its organic beauty, while the brass hardware adds a quiet touch of ornamentation, underscoring its refined yet rugged character. Raised on tapered legs, the piece maintains a sense of lightness despite its monolithic presence. Perfect for grounding an interior with a statement of strength and authenticity, this sideboard seamlessly integrates into both contemporary and rustic settings. A rare and collectible piece, available for private acquisition. For inquiries regarding provenance, restoration, or placement consultation, we welcome discerning collectors to connect with us.

Brutalist Sideboard Oak, France, 1950s
By Charles Dudouyt
Located in Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
This sculptural sideboard holds a quiet monumentality—its façade a study in balance, depth, and geometric relief. Two symmetrical doors are adorned with deeply carved concentric medallions, each centered within a bevel-edged square that projects from the surface like a wooden echo. Between them, five central drawers offer rhythmic contrast with their horizontal fluting, lending a linear tension to the rounded volumes flanking them. In the style of Charles Dudouyt, this piece reflects the postwar fascination with medieval forms reinterpreted through modernist clarity. The carved motif—a recessed bull’s-eye framed in architectural moldings—recalls the rustic abstraction seen in French design of the 1940s and ’50s, where massing, form, and shadow did the work of ornament. Carved from solid oak, the cabinet is grounded by splayed bracket legs that introduce a subtle kinetic lift. Their flared stance balances the robust body above, suggesting movement held in suspension. The drawer pulls are brass discs, minimal in gesture yet warm in tone, allowing the sculptural surfaces to speak. Inside, the cabinet offers generous storage behind paneled doors, while the drawers glide with dovetail construction and timeworn ease. A visible fissure on one of the door medallions...
