About the Item

Defined by its luminous geometry and quiet poise, this French oak sideboard is a refined expression of rural craftsmanship, distilled into modern simplicity. Three front panels are adorned with deeply carved starburst motifs, radiating from the center like abstracted compass roses—each one revealing the slow, meditative rhythm of handwork. Crafted in the 1940s–50s, this piece emerges from the tradition of provincial French cabinetry but is filtered through a modernist restraint. Its crisp linear frame and absence of overt ornament recall the understated ethos of Charlotte Perriand’s alpine commissions, while the graphic carvings offer a folk-art gesture elevated into sculpture. Finished in JADA’s signature light bleaching technique, the oak has been softened to a pale, grain-forward tone—revealing its radial symmetry with clarity and warmth. Original ironwork punctuates the facade with elegant contrast: decorative yet discrete, each hinge and keyplate a subtle nod to heritage metalwork. The cabinet stands confidently on straight legs, its proportions balanced and architectural. Its condition is excellent, with authentic signs of age: worn edges, oxidized iron, and delicate fissures that speak of decades in use—offering not flaw, but narrative. This is a piece that offers grounding calm—a sculptural anchor for a contemporary dining room, gallery interior, or quietly layered space. Available for private acquisition. For condition details or curatorial consultation, please contact our specialists.
