Mid Century Sideboard attributed to Charles Dudouyt, French c1950
Evoking the artisanal spirit of post-war French design, this striking oak sideboard captures the refined craftsmanship and sculptural sensibility of the 1950s and 1960s. Made in France, the piece reflects the rustic-modern aesthetic championed by designers such as Guillerme et Chambron and Charles Dudouyt, where solid wood construction met bold geometric reliefs and architectural forms.
Crafted from richly grained oak, the sideboard features two paneled doors with deeply carved geometric motifs and four central drawers with turned wooden knobs — a hallmark of French modernist furniture that balanced utility with artistry. The stepped plinth legs and subtle hand-finished patina lend it a timeless gravitas, making it as relevant today as it was in mid-century France.
