French Geometric Sideboard in Bleached Oak, 1950s

About the Item

French Geometric Sideboard in Bleached Oak, 1950s Rooted in the quiet geometry of France’s post-war Reconstruction design A study in proportion and pared-back elegance, this French sideboard from the 1950s channels the restrained modernism of the Reconstruction era—when utility, dignity, and material honesty redefined domestic craftsmanship across post-war France. Handcrafted in solid oak and gently bleached to a pale, mineral tone, the piece is composed of three paneled doors framed in mitred borders. Each features a rhythmic four-panel lozenge motif—geometrically carved in alternating diagonals that softly refract light. Fluted vertical uprights lend architectural rhythm, while a subtle scalloped apron introduces a lyrical inflection to its otherwise rectilinear silhouette. This design language—sober yet warm, formal without excess—is emblematic of the French mid-century transition from ornament to structure. It recalls the ethos of the Reconstruction period, when regional ateliers embraced geometric order, durability, and the expressive potential of raw oak. The surface has been lightly restored using our signature minimal-intervention method, preserving gentle tonal variation, visible grain, and soft age marks. Structurally sound, with original proportions and lockwork intact, the sideboard invites pairing with both Brutalist and contemporary interiors seeking sculptural restraint. Available for private acquisition. For dimensions or collector inquiries, please contact our curatorial team.

18th Century Bleached Walnut Italian Credenza, Buffet, Sideboard
Located in Carmine, TX
Walnut credenza handcrafted in Italy in the mid 1700s and bleached recently. Don't let its delicate overall appearance fool you because, as my lower back can attest, this baby is heavy. This is a beautiful credenza that follow the typical italian style with slanted sides, which create small triangular storage spaces on either sides of the two main front doors and drawer. Overall the credenza is very straight in lines. The drawers have flat overlay fronts, and the doors show chamfered panels with a raised carving and are framed by flat molding. The carving and molding help giving the piece some depth and decoration. The bleaching process also provided the credenza with additional warmth, depth and decoration, by bringing out the beautiful grain and underlying colors of the wood. The top of the credenza is composed of boards with ogee edge nailed to the main case. On the inside the credenza is very spacious, providing plenty of storage space. Overall this is a beautiful piece that has lived a long life, and has received some help in "hanging in there" over the years. This is a piece that will fit well with both modern and...
