Charles Dudouyt 4-door Solid Oak Sideboard, 1940s

Charles Dudouyt 1940s Solid Oak 4-Door Buffet.

An imposing solid oak buffet with a front featuring a rhythmic pattern of molded panels and fluted side moldings, a signature of Charles Dudouyt's design vocabulary. The four-door composition consists of two central doors flanked by two side doors, resting on a carved base with an interlaced motif. Discreet handles, powerful and inviting proportions, and a beautiful brown patina complete the piece. The functional interior (shelves/cupboards) makes it perfect for a dining room or large living room. The rustic-modernist style is characteristic of Dudouyt: architectural volumes, graphic reliefs, and expertly crafted oak. About Charles Dudouyt (1885–1946): A major figure in French furniture design during the 1930s and 40s, Dudouyt developed a rustic-modernist style: solid oak, relief carving, fluted moldings, sometimes turned legs, and corded seats. After starting out as a painter and decorator, he founded his own workshops in the 1920s (often grouped under the name La Gentilhommière) and created warm, robust, and highly decorative furniture—now sought after for its character and quality of craftsmanship.
