Charles Flandres, sideboard, solid elm, wrought iron, France, 1960s

The French cabinetmaker Charles Flandres has crafted this exquisite credenza, seamlessly combining rustic charm with organic elegance. The design features graceful, free-flowing edges sculpted from the finest elmwood, distinguished by its rich, warm hue and distinctive grain patterns. This choice of wood not only enhances the credenza's natural beauty but also brings a sense of warmth to any space. The base of the credenza demonstrates remarkable craftsmanship, incorporating natural forms with a unique structure. It consists of two sturdy legs that are inserted perpendicularly into a horizontal beam, creating a stable yet visually interesting foundation. This design approach adds depth and openness, making the piece feel both substantial and airy. The door panels are decorated with decorative wrought iron hinges. These hinges, along with the hammered iron handles, underscores the attention to detail in Flandres' work. Overall, this sideboard is a testament to Flandres' mastery in marrying traditional craftsmanship with a modern organic aesthetic.
