Sculpted Dining Table in Bleached Oak, France, 1950s
In the spirit of Charles Dudouyt
A quiet monolith of French rural modernism, this mid-century dining table offers a compelling study in weight, rhythm, and artisanal poise. Its tactile massing and deeply carved volumes give the impression of a grounded sculpture—anchoring space with both gravitas and lyrical detail.
Evocative of Charles Dudouyt’s sculptural idiom, the piece channels the same assertive geometry and rhythmic hand-carving that defined post-war French provincial modernism. While unsigned, its craftsmanship reflects the sensibilities of a Provençal atelier steeped in the vernacular codes of rustic elegance and dignified form.
The oak has undergone a gentle bleaching process in our signature gallery finish—revealing the soft mineral hues and open grain that characterize the region’s noble timber. The bold, gadrooned legs—each lathe-turned with hexagonal accents and scalloped footings—are joined by a hand-notched stretcher with a lightly scalloped edge, lending visual cadence and strength.
Subtle irregularities—faint tool marks, softened edges, minor undulations—testify to its handcrafted origin and authentic passage through time. The piece is structurally sound and exhibits a preserved, matte patina that enhances its sculptural presence.
Well-proportioned for intimate dining or as a centrepiece in a study or atelier, the table balances rusticity with refinement—an ideal addition to interiors grounded in quiet luxury, Brutalist textures, or warm minimalism.
