1930s French Art Deco Cabinet in Stained Oak and Chestnut

Cabinet, oak, chestnut, France, 1930s

This sideboard epitomizes the French Art Deco design principles that gained prominence in the 1930s, reflecting the influence of designers Victor Courtray and Charles Dudouyt. It can be attributed to the second phase of Courtray's career, marked by a regionalist approach following his move to the Southwest. This phase coincided with the decline of the Art Deco style around 1930. During this period, Courtray reimagined traditional Spanish furniture by simplifying its forms and incorporating stylized wood with engraved patterns. This innovative blend of old and new has led to his style being described as 'neo-Basque.'

The relief-carved circles with concentric lines embellish the front. These details not only infuse a touch of artistic flair but also impart a sense of structural rhythm. Elevated on gracefully carved bulky feet, these elements provide structural support while imbuing the piece with a distinctive character. The interior contains shelves. The dark stained oak and chestnut underscore the piece's substantial and grandeur appearance.

Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
