Black Art Deco Sideboard with Chromed Elephant Pattern, France 1930s

About the Item

Original French Art Deco Sideboard in Black Lacquer with Elephant Motif Hardware – A Masterpiece of 1930s Craftsmanship A commanding presence in any room, this original French Art Deco sideboard from the 1930s is a celebration of architectural clarity and decorative sophistication. With its gleaming black high-gloss lacquer, precise lines and exquisite bronze details, it is not only a storage solution, but a true collector’s piece that embodies the essence of Art Deco design. Design & Functionality This large and well-proportioned sideboard offers generous storage across its five compartments: • At the center, two tall cabinet doors open to reveal three spacious internal shelves. • On either side, additional doors conceal more shelving space, crowned by two upper drawers. These vertical elements are framed by gently curved corners and rounded drawer fronts, giving the piece a soft rhythm despite its imposing size. Refined chrome lines subtly frame the outer edges, accentuating its contours and adding a visual lightness to the deep black lacquered surface. The piece rests on a broad pedestal base – stepped and faceted – which grounds the design and enhances its symmetry. The entire structure appears to float slightly above the floor, thanks to the elegant elevation of the plinth. Materials & Details • Mirror-finish piano lacquer in rich, jet black – an intensive and time-honored finish applied in multiple layers and polished to achieve this exceptional depth and gloss. • Newly nickel-plated bronze handles, crafted in sculptural relief: two majestic elephants face each other within a lush jungle scene, framed by palm leaves and tropical flora. The level of detail is extraordinary – their trunks curve delicately toward one another, capturing both motion and harmony in solid metal. A visual and tactile highlight, these handles are not merely functional, but an artistic tribute to the era’s fascination with exoticism and nature. The design bridges geometry and ornament, modernity and narrative – a signature quality of true Art Deco. Dimensions: • Width: 200 cm / 78.74 in • Height: 101.5 cm / 39.96 in • Depth: 50 cm / 19.69 in This sideboard is ideal for use in a dining room, living room or spacious hallway – anywhere you seek to combine luxury, presence and utility. Its condition is exceptional, with every detail carefully restored and finished to the highest standard. A commanding yet refined piece that effortlessly captures the glamour and precision of 1930s Paris.
