Jean Michel Frank Straw Marquetry Box, France circa 1930
By Jean-Michel Frank
Located in Atlanta, GA
This is a lovely Art Deco straw marquetry decorative lidded box whose design is attributed to Jean Michel Frank (1895 - 1941). The rectangular shape has a refined geometric design, and the interior is lined with cork. There is no visible maker's mark. This box is a rare collectible piece with lots of presence and elegance.
The original cork inside which was pretty damaged, has been replaced by a similar natural cork material.
The box is unsigned but similar in size and pattern to Jean-Michel Frank boxes, including the ones pictured in the Jean-Michel Frank book (check the reference below for further reading).
Measurements: 5.13 in deep (13 cm) x 7.50 in wide (19 cm) x 1.19 in high (3 cm).
Reference:
- Léopold Diego Sanchez, "Jean-Michel Frank", Editions du regard, Paris, 1980. Similar marquetry boxes are on page 80.
- Galerie Jacques De Vos, "Aux sources du XXe Siècle - Jean Michel Frank - Volume 2", Paris 1990 (texts in French and English). Similar marquetry boxes are on page 109 along with a precious explanation of the partnership developed by Jean Michel Frank with Adolphe Chanaux on page 108.
Note: Jean-Michel Frank (28 February 1895 – 8 March 1941) was a French interior designer known for minimalist interiors decorated with plain-lined but elegant furniture made of luxury materials, such as shagreen, mica, and intricate straw marquetry. He had an eye for exotic patterns, specifically in veneers, including snake and sharkskin. His work became widely known in the 1930s when select, higher classes demanded his furniture. He is known for being associated with the Art Deco movement.
Frank sought to design uncluttered spaces, featuring neutral color schemes with exotic patterns. His idea of simplicity extended to everything, including his wardrobe, where he owned forty of the same gray flannel shirts. Frank drew inspiration from Ancient Egypt, Louis XVI, and the Art Deco movement.
"The noble frames that have come to us from the past can receive today's creations," Jean Michel Frank. Frank collaborated with many designers and artists, such as Diego Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Emilio Terry, and Christian Berard.
In the 1920s, Frank and Adolphe Chanaux, a Parisian decorator, met and inaugurated a collaboration that launched them into the center of Parisian artistic life. Frank and Chanaux searched for balance and developed a classic expression of spaces. Together, they decorated apartments for Jean-Pierre Guerlain, Marie-Laure de Noailles, and Louis Aragon. In 1924, Jean Rene Guerrand appointed Frank to...
