A rare and sculptural creation by renowned French decorator and designer, Jacques “Jaque” Klein (1899-1963). This 1925s oak sideboard embodies the bold elegance of early Art Deco design. Klein, active in the Parisian decorative arts scene and a contributor to the famed 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs, was celebrated for his architectural sensibility and refined craftsmanship. His original style is characterized by the use of strong contrasts between shapes, styles and materials.

This sideboard features a symmetrical façade punctuated by three central panels, each adorned with deeply carved reliefs, abstracted botanical motifs that evoke the stylized naturalism of the period. Vertical fluting and geometric framing lend rhythm and structure, while the warm oak grain, expertly finished, adds depth and richness. The piece rests on two rounded pedestal feet, grounding its sculptural presence with classical poise.

Inside, the cabinet reveals a thoughtfully organized interior with drawers and shelving, offering both aesthetic impact and functional storage. A masterful blend of artistry and utility, this sideboard is ideal for collectors and designers seeking a statement piece with provenance, character, and timeless appeal.

A museum-worthy example of French Art Deco at its most expressive.
