Description

Remarkable French oak dresser or side cabinet by the celebrated French furniture designer Léon Jallot (1874 - 1967) c.1905. Of striking design with a mix of traditional Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau influences (a fully trained cabinet maker, Jallot ran the furniture workshop of Siefried Bing's great Maison d'Art Nouveau store in Paris from 1889 -1901). Jallot was the first of Art Nouveau designers to move away from organic floral decorative detail, pointing towards the early modernist and Art Deco styles of the 1920's.

Two door glazed cabinet with a flat top and gallery to the sides and rear. Raised over a wider and deeper base unit featuring an open shelf, single drawer and small cupboard, flanked on both sides with taller cupboards each fitted with a single adjustable shelf inside (internal depth 18"). Unusual pierced detail of leaves to the upper gallery and repeated on the sides of upper cabinet. Contrasting inlaid detail of squares and dots to the front of both the top and bottom sections. Note also how the shallow arch apron below the glazed cabinet is repeated over the open shelf and between the feet on the base. Original brass including a splendid large Egyptian revival inspired handle to the centre drawer. Chamfered edges and simple reeded detail. Sturdy construction with solid oak front, sides, drawer linings and back panels. Some minor wear to the top (an oak veneered board surrounded by a solid oak edge), otherwise excellent colour and condition, cleaned and waxed in our workshops.
