About the Item

Charming French 1920s Art Deco armchair "Pozzetto" in brown walnut, red skin color Jules Leleu style Upholstery in good condition and polished waxed structure. Measures cm: H 45/66, W 52, D 42. ABOUT JULES LELEU Born into a family of artisans and artists in Boulogne-sur-Mer in Northern France, Jules Leleu was one of the fathers of French Art Deco design. He exhibited at the prestigious ‘Exposition des Arts Decoratifs’ in 1925, the event that gave Art Deco its name and designed the chairs for the Grand Salon and the Music Room. His commissions included the ocean liners Ile de France and the famed and ill-fated Normandie. Others include a dining room for the Elysée Palace, and the Grand Salon des Ambassadeurs at La Societé des Nations in Geneva, called the Salon Leleu. Viewers can expect to see the following pieces from the collection – A ‘Feux d’artifice’ (Fireworks) pattern rosewood and marquetry cabinet and commode. Inlaid in ebony and mother-of-pearl marquetry and applied with gilt bronze, these bear comparison with the better-known work of contemporary Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann.
