French Oak Dining Table or Desk by Charles Dudouyt, 1940s
Designed in the 1940s by Charles Dudouyt, this versatile table exemplifies the French modernist’s thoughtful craftsmanship and sculptural vocabulary, rendered in oak. The solid frame features a thick top with subtle inlay work, its proportions balanced and intentional.
The base is where Dudouyt’s hand is most felt—each leg carved with rhythmic ribbing, decorative panels raised in relief, and insets of warm copper punctuated by silver-toned medallions. These details add texture and presence without overwhelming the form, a signature of Dudouyt’s restrained yet expressive style.
Originally built to accommodate extension leaves (now removed), the table has been fixed at a versatile scale—equally suited as a dining table, desk, or entry anchor. A grounded, beautifully made piece that reads as both functional and artful.
