French Art Deco sideboard in sycamore, style of André Arbus, c. 1940.

A rare masterpiece of French modernism, this extraordinary sideboard attributed to the school of André Arbus embodies the excellence of the style of the 1940s. This major piece is part of a rare dining room set that includes a matching table, also available in our gallery, with preferential pricing offered for the acquisition of the complete set. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the structure is adorned with a bright sycamore veneer arranged in a diamond pattern for a striking geometric effect. Restored according to the traditional method of French polishing, this sideboard highlights the natural depth of the grain and the clarity of the wood. The design is distinguished by its subtly arched front and conical tapered legs, emblematic signatures of the period. All bronze and brass ornaments, including protective feet and decorative rings, have been carefully polished to provide a mirror finish that elegantly contrasts with the warm tones of the sycamore. Certified by the official seal of the National Federation of Furniture, this creation is an authentic testament to high-quality French craftsmanship from the post-war era, promising to enhance any interior by standing out as the centrepiece of a discerning collection where neoclassical modernism meets the perfection of traditional cabinetmaking.
