Biography:
Charles B. (Charlie) Cobb (1947 - 2021; American)
Born March 28, 1947, in Detroit, Michigan. Charlie lived most of his adult life in Santa Rosa, California. He was an artist extraordinaire. Charlie worked in wood the way Michelangelo worked with marble—intuitively sensing what was flowing inside the material he was working with. Charlie made both functional and sculptural art working with exotic hardwoods, sometimes augmenting his work with metal and glass. His works are in homes and offices throughout the United States, Asia and Europe and in the permanent collections of museums. His functional work consisted of cabinets, chests of drawers, tables, desks, clocks, handrails, chairs, lamps, bedframes and mirrors. He created free standing and wall hung sculptures that pushed the limits of his materials towards an elegance that left viewers in awe.
"My work is both organic and geometric: my ultimate goal has always been to create a unique, beautiful object."
Charlie grew up in Detroit. His friends from elementary school remember him designing cars as a kid; his high school teachers recognized him as extraordinarily talented. He attended The Art Center of Design in Pasadena, California before settling in Santa Rosa, California.

- Early 20th Century French Art Nouveau Carved Wall Shelf by, Louis MajorelleBy Louis MajorelleLocated in Englewood, NJEarly 20th century French Art Nouveau carved wood "Les Blés" (The Wheat) pattern wall shelf by, Louis Majorelle decorated with two shallow display shelves further carved with "Les Blés" (Wheat) decoration on each bend. The shelf is ready to hang. circa 1905. Measurements: height: 20 in. x width: 28.75 in. x depth: 6.25 in. Notes: Objects Diplayed Are Not Included Biography: Louis Majorelle, (Toul, 26 September 1859 – Nancy, 15 January 1926) born as Louis-Jean-Sylvestre Majorelle was a French decorator and furniture designer who manufactured his own designs, in the French tradition of the ébéniste. He was one of the outstanding designers of furniture in the Art Nouveau style, and after 1901 formally served as one of the vice-presidents of the École de Nancy. The Majorelle firm's factory was designed by famous École de Nancy architect Lucien Weissenburger (1860 – 1929) and located at 6, rue du Vieil-Aître in the western part of Nancy. In the 1880s Majorelle turned out pastiches of Louis XV furniture styles, which he exhibited in 1894 at the Exposition d'Art Décoratif et Industriel [Exposition of Decorative and Industrial Art] in Nancy, but the influence of the glass- and furniture-maker Emile Gallé (1846 – 1904) inspired him to take his production in new directions. Beginning in the 1890s, Majorelle's furniture, embellished with inlays, took their inspiration from nature: stems of plants, waterlily leaves, tendrils, dragonflies. Before 1900 he added a metalworking atelier to the workshops, to produce drawerpulls and mounts in keeping with the fluid lines of his woodwork. His studio also was responsible for the ironwork of balconies, staircase railings...Category
