About the Item

French Modernist Art Deco pair of club chairs in the style of Louis Sognot, circa 1930. Solid French walnut frames. Unrestored in the photos. 30” wide x 34” deep x 32” high. Arms 23” high. LOUIS SOGNOT (1892-1970) French Designer and Architect Louis Sognot trained at Ecole Bernard-Palissy in Paris and his early career was spent in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine (the furniture-making center) district of Paris, From 1920 to 1930 he managed Primavera, the decorating studio of Au Printemps department store. His designs for the boudoir and bedroom for Primavera's pavilion at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris, shows the influence of Cubism on his work, Beginning in 1928 he collaborated closely with Charlotte Alix and much of their joint work cannot be individually attributed, although he also designed alone. His designs included models in precious and exotic woods in a modernist style and he was a founding member (1929) of the Union des Artistes Decoroteurs (UAM). Sognot's works (many together with Charlotte Alix) were exhibited at Salon d' Automne from 1923 and Salon of Societe des Artistes Decorateurs from 1924, His interior design/furniture for the Maharaja ofIndore was shown at the 1930 Salon d' Automne. From 1929 he was an instructor at Ecole Duperre and later also taught at Ecole des Arts Appliques a I' Industrie and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. He became artist director at the latter in 1947.

Andre Arbus-Style Pair of Large-Scale Armchairs
By André Arbus
Located in Philadelphia, PA
French Forties Art Deco pair of large-scale armchairs in the style of Andre Arbus. 26” wide x 30” deep x 37” high. Andre Arbus (1903-1969) French Art Deco Architect and Designer, ANDRE ARBUS, was born in Toulouse, France and was a third-generation cabinetmaker. Arbus became active in the Salons of the Societe des Artistes Decorateurs and the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1925 at the young age of 22. His work included commissions for the 1922 oceanliner Bretagne, the 1927 La Provence and Ile-de-France as well as the 1961 France. He often used rare and exotic materials in his refined designs. These were elegant and pure and often gave the appearance of fragility – as in his neo-classical presentation at the Paris International Exposition of 1937. He compared the joints in his furniture to the joints of the human hand. His commissions also included private townhouses as well as Le Mobilier National for which he designed a desk for U.S. Ambassador W. H. Harriman, and the post World War II Medici Room of the Chateau de Rambouillet.
