About the Item
Francisque Chaleyssin, cabinet, cerused oak, formica, mirrored glass, glass, France, late 1940s
Francisque Chaleyssin (1872–1951) was a prominent ébéniste and décorateur based in Lyon, active through the interwar and immediate postwar decades. His work bridged the transition from the ornamental vocabulary of Art Deco toward the more pared-down modernism that emerged in postwar France. Chaleyssin’s designs often embodied a synthesis of traditional artisanal techniques, art deco influences, and modern stylistic restraint, aligning him with other regional ateliers that sought to maintain French craftsmanship in an era increasingly defined by industrial production. This remarkable sideboard exemplifies Chaleyssin’s fusion of paradigms. This cabinet is a quietly powerful piece; substantial in form, yet richly detailed in texture – its structure is weighty and grounded. The overall shape is boxy, geometric, almost monolithic, but not without nuance. Open shelves on either side frame the design, and a top vitrine provides space to display your favorite belongings. The cabinet's doors are where the hand of the artisan truly shows. Each geometrically raised panel is carefully hand-carved, and it is striking how the mirrored grains create a cross opposing the orientation of the panels themselves. Executed in oak, the surface features a distinctive, pronounced grain pattern, further accentuated by a cerused finish. This technique, which involves applying a contrasting pigment to highlight the wood's natural grain, adds remarkable depth and texture. The top, surfaced in a grid of black formica tiles, introducing a modern material and subtle counterpoint to the tactility of the wood. The sideboard formed part of an interior ensemble in Lyon, furnished by Chaleyssin.
