Oak Table By Charles Dudouyt, 1940s

Oak table by Charles Dudouyt, 1940s.

A powerful oak dining table, typical of French production in the 1940s. A large, thick top with clean edges rests on two massive "portico" legs connected by a stretcher, ensuring stability. The legs are punctuated by sculpted/projecting uprights, a simple yet highly architectural decorative detail. The beautiful presence of oak and generous proportions make it ideal as a dining table or large work table. A model with a modernized rustic style, it works very well in a contemporary interior as well as in a more classic setting. Charles Dudouyt (1885–1946) was a leading figure in French furniture design between the two World Wars and in the 1940s, known for his robustly formed oak furniture. He developed a recognizable vocabulary: solid volumes, portico legs, sculpted details, and a strong emphasis on woodwork.
