Notre meuble, probablement l’exemplaire même exposé au Salon des Artistes Décorateurs de 1942, est un fascinant aperçu de la première partie du travail de Jacques Quinet, qui n’a alors que 24 ans. Plus galbée et d’inspiration moins néo-classique que le reste de sa production, cette enflade repose sur des sabots dont le dessin en L, même s’il sera simplifé au fl des années, deviendra un élément caractéristique du répertoire formel de Jacques Quinet.
The present sideboard, probably the very example exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1942 when Jacques Quinet was aged only 24, is a fascinating insight into the artist’s early works. Over the years his style became more neo-classical and linear but the L-shaped sabot, which became characteristical of his own style, is already part of his repertoire.
