French Mid-Century Lacquered Armoire, by Andre Arbus & Gilbert Poillerat

About the Item

French mid-century light brown lacquered Atelier Sain et Tambuté, Paris two-door armoire cabinet with bronze rope trim and door lock plate on gilt cylindrical feet with a Siena marble top (Andre Arbus - Gilbert Poillerat) ref: ARBUS, by Brunhammer, pg 8) André Arbus was a French furniture designer, sculptor and architect. Arbus exhibited his work at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, where he won the silver medal for a lowboy he designed with Marc Saint-Saëns. Meanwhile, his work was also exhibited at the Société des artistes décorateurs and the Salon d'Automne. In 1925 André Arbus began to achieve the great success he deserved. He started exhibiting beyond Toulouse—at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs, the Salon d'Automne, the gallery L’Epoque in Paris, and, most notably, at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, where he won a medal for an innovative piece he designed with Marc Saint-Saëns. Gilbert Poillerat was a French decorator and wrought iron craftsman who mastered the art of chiseling bronze and iron. Inspired by historical forms, he imagined elegant objects and furniture that differed from the common trends. His chiseled works presented airy and delicate features that looked upon the 17th century and the Empire period, answering his motto: 'iron is not an accessory, it is an ornament.' Not only will he be one of French designs' key figure, will he also be part of History. In 1947, indeed, he conceived the unique copy of the Necklace of the Grand Master of the Order of the Liberation, attributed to the Général De Gaulle.
