This mid-century sideboard, made from patinated French oak, was designed by René Gabriel in the 1940s in France. It was part of a collection of emergency furniture created for war victims, which is reflected in its simple and functional design. The sideboard features two storage units and five drawers, all of which have developed a beautiful patina over time. In its current condition, this piece would make a striking addition to any room, including a living room, family room, screening room, or office. It would also fit well in hospitality or corporate settings, such as a boutique hotel lobby, cocktail bar, members club, or luxury boutique. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
