The piece comes from a period when Art Deco produced its last great designs. Characteristic features include the softly rounded edges, the monumental base, and the almost symmetrical veneer pattern. The grain resembles an abstract landscape—almost alive—and changes its appearance with every angle of light.

During the restoration, the sideboard was thoroughly cleaned, loose veneer was stabilized, and minor losses were carefully repaired. The body was sanded and rebuilt. The matte petrol-colored surfaces provide a contemporary contrast without obscuring the historical character. Delicate gold lines were applied by hand, echoing the elegant ornamentation of Art Deco. Finally, the surface received a wax treatment and was hand-polished, restoring the burl wood's exceptional depth and warmth.

with an interior depth of 56 cm, generous compartments, and two drawers, this sideboard offers not only a striking presence but also considerable practicality. It is equally suitable as an impressive sideboard in a living room or as a reception desk in a boutique, gallery, office, or hotel.

The combination of antique furniture and modern restoration makes this unique piece a distinctive design object that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style.
