Small French-made sideboard from the late 1950s/early 1960s. The sideboard was part of a pair of pieces in rosewood with details in oxidized brass, made for a dining room in a Parisian home. The two pieces of furniture had the same size and shape, but were subdivided differently, as they were originally placed in different areas of the room for which they were made, but not symmetrically.
The item is in good condition: the surface has been entirely restored in our workshop. The most difficult job was to eliminate the black varnish of the wood in the opening of the handle, that had been applied for no apparent reason.

Jules Leleu (1883-1961) is a French cabinetmaker and designer, famous for adapting modernism with classic lines. It remains best known for its designs with simplified shapes, exotic woods as well as for its marquetry and its ivory inlay. He was born on June 17, 1883 and, after studying decorative painting, he took over his father’s painting business at the age of 26 with his brother, Marcel. He opens a gallery, Maison Leleu, and devotes himself entirely to making furniture. In 1925, he exhibited at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts where he won the Grand Prix. His notoriety is gaining momentum and he designs the Île de France and Normandy ocean liners, as well as the French embassies around the world and the large ambassador fair at the Geneva Nations.
