Early Art Deco Executive Office Set by Gauthier Poinsignon Circa 1920

About the Item

As at home in a 21st Century office as it would have been in the early 1920's, this custom-built transitional Art Nouveau-to-Art Deco executive office set is impressive in the photos and even more so in person. It's created by hand from mahogany with delicate 'mother-of-pearl' stringing. The front of the desk duplicates the design on the bookcase. The middle door is a plate of bevelled glass. This is a superior piece by a world-renowned design team of Parisian ebinistes. This piece bears the stamp of this famous group. Camille Gauthier was a cabinet-maker born in Norroy-les-Pont-à-Mousson 1870. Gauthier attended the Nancy School of Fine Arts and after completing his education at the Paris Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in 1891 he worked for Louis Majorelle as a decorator from 1894-1900. Many of Gauthiers pieces were shown at the 1900 Paris World Fair. The Following year, he left Majorelle’s company and partnered with tapestry-maker Paul Poinsignon to create the Gauthier-Poinsignon Company. Clearly influenced by Majorelle’s art-nouveau style in their early works, the Gauthier-Poinsignon company differed from Majorelle’s in producing technical and customized pieces for clients. Their modern workshops, galleries and catalogs helped the company reach a wider ranks of customers than that of Gallé and Majorelle and provide a modern style of furniture. Camille Gauthier Was a member of the Ecole de Nancy Board of Management since 1901. This desk set is contemporary in design and could work in any large executive office with style. Guaranteed to impress. Offers invited.
