This sideboard dates to the mid-20th century and reflects a distinctly French approach to postwar modernist furniture, characterized by robust construction, architectural mass, and expressive surface treatment. The long horizontal form is structured by four doors carved in deep geometric relief, producing a rhythmic pattern of triangular motifs that animate the façade through light and shadow. The restrained framing and solid proportions lend the piece a monumental presence, while the warm wood surface emphasizes the precision and depth of the carving. The design shows strong affinities with the work of Charles Dudouyt, particularly his mid-century furniture that explored sculptural relief, weight, and architectural clarity.
