About the Item
Provenance: From a home on Green Bay Road in Lake Forest, Illinois.
Stephen M. Salny's groundbreaking monograph Frances Elkins Interior Design, New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2005, has refocused interest in this extremely talented designer originally from Wisconsin whose work with her brother, the well-known architect, David Adler, did much to transform American interior decoration in the second quarter of the 20th century. In a house designed by her brother, the well-known architect David Adler, we know Elkins created 'loop chairs' in the 1930's.
The Dictionary of English Furniture are the kinds of books that dealers, collectors, architects, and decorators covet. One influential decorator who must have had the first edition of the Dictionary was Elkins. From the 1930's until her death in 1953, she created sumptuous interiors from California to New York. She is especially remembered for her collaborations with her erudite brother, the architect David Adler (1882–1949), in Chicago and its suburbs. Her signature style was a mix of eighteenth-century antiques with the work of contemporary designers such as Jean-Michel Frank (1815–1941) and Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966). Elkins also designed furniture herself and had antique forms copied by her team of craftsmen in California. Her version of the loop chair appeared in at least two projects from the early 1930's—on the “living porch” of the residence of Evelyn Marshall Field (1888–1979) in Muttontown, New York, and in the Lake Forest living room of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Wheeler.
