A commanding example of Belgian Art Deco craftsmanship, this large 1920s counter by De Coene has been professionally refinished, revealing the full beauty of its oak veneer and sculptural form. Created during a period when De Coene was establishing itself as one of Belgium’s most influential design ateliers, the piece reflects the firm’s mastery of modernist elegance, material refinement, and architectural presence.
The counter’s elongated silhouette is wrapped in warm oak veneer, its rounded corners and streamlined geometry characteristic of early Art Deco sophistication. Vertical rhythm and subtle geometric detailing animate the façade, while integrated glass elements introduce a sense of lightness and transparency. The recent professional refinishing highlights the depth of the wood grain and restores the clarity of the design without compromising its historical integrity.
Inside, the structure reveals the thoughtful practicality for which De Coene was known, offering generous storage and display possibilities. Every curve, joint, and surface speaks to the atelier’s commitment to craftsmanship and precision.
Originally intended for refined commercial or domestic interiors; boutiques, reception spaces, or private offices, this substantial counter now serves beautifully as a bar, display console, or statement anchor in a contemporary setting. Its scale, materiality, and sculptural presence make it a rare and compelling example of Belgian Art Deco design.
