Jean Batenburg, Sideboard with Émile Souply Handle

Designed by Jean Batenburg for E.M.Y. Belgium in the 1960s, this rare sideboard reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of Batenburg's own brand, later known as MI. The piece is constructed from teak-veneered wood and features two sliding doors. Its most distinctive element is the handmade wrought-iron handle, designed by Émile Souply, a trained silversmith. More than just a functional detail, this sculptural handle is a small work of art in itself. This sideboard remains fully original and in well-preserved condition, it has a slight patina with some signs of age around the edges. Fantastic and very rare design, born from the collaboration of two great Belgian artists.
