Lemieux Et Cie - Remarkable 1940's Cerused French Oak Extension Desk in the Manner of Jean-Michel Frank
- Description
This cerused French oak extension desk is a remarkable example of sculptural utility, embodying the refined craftsmanship of 1940s French modernism. Its linear form and integrated extension benches evoke the work of designers like Jean-Michel Frank and Jacques Adnet, who elevated simplicity into an art form through impeccable materiality and proportion. Cerused oak, a technique originally perfected during the Renaissance and revived in the Art Deco and mid-century periods, enhances the wood’s natural grain with a delicate whitewashed effect, adding both texture and depth. The extension feature allows for adaptable functionality—ideal as a writing desk, console, or even a statement vanity. Now part of the Lemieux Et Cie Vintage Collection, this rare piece exudes the timeless restraint and quiet luxury that define the best of French design.
