Bordeaux Sideboard

A relic of French winemaking days, this sideboard once stood among barrels and bottles instead of books and vases. Once part of a working winery in Bordeaux, this 1930s sideboard was built for function first- but the scalloped apron, curved edges, and single centered drawer suggest its maker had a flair for design. Crafted from solid wood and mellowed by time, it still carries the quiet warmth of a French cellar, where bottles were corked and barrels rolled through long afternoons. Pieces like this were common in the rural Bordelais, often doubling as both tasting counter and tool bench. Today, it’s a statement console or bar-one that feels both grounded and alive with story.
