Ledoux and Coutaud, Pair of Dual-Leafed Mirrored Folding Screens, France, 1950s
About the Item
The designer (and owner) of these doors was Fernand Ledoux (1897-1993), a famous French actor directed by Jean Renoir, Marcel Carné, Jean Becker, Claude Chabrol, and Orson Welles among others.
Originally a 4-panel screen that has been split into two, these two two-panel screens were inspired by the tapestries of Lucien Coutaud. Ledoux owned the villa 'Les ramiers' in Villerville-sur-mer (Normandy) and lived next to Lucien Coutaud’s vacation cottage. Ledoux, who also painted in his spare time, was, in the creation of these doors, inspired by three of Lucien Coutaud's tapestries Orphée et les muses (1942), Le piano des villes (1943), and Harpe des eaux (1943), made for the Compagnie des Arts Français. These adorned the staircase leading to, and the bar of, and the salon at the Hotel George V in Paris.
Originally conceived as a four-panel screen.
