Four Mahogany Dining Chairs in the manner of Jean Michele Frank
About the Item
Jean Michel Frank was a exceptionally gifted designer
who also colaborated with several well known fabricators
in creating astonishing work. The simplicity of the Parson's
table, mostly finished with fine and rare materials, is proof
of that.
The 1930s were marked by a string of professional successes for Frank. In 1932 he and Adolphe Chanaux, his Parisian decorator, opened up a shop at #140 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. This collaboration culminated in illustrious work for both the Rockefellers and the Guerlains. And in 1937 he designed Nelson Rockefeller’s famed Fifth Avenue apartment. It was, moreover, during this decade that he created many of his most famous designs, including the beautifully simple piece known as the Parsons Table.
This period came crashing to an end at the start of the Second World War. During the winter of 1939-40, Frank fled France for Argentina. He took an apartment in Buenos Aires, and a position as the Artistic Director of Comte, executing a variety of projects with an old friend and former business partner Ignacio Pirovano. Among his clients were the Born family, whose local mansion remains intact to this day and is widely regarded as Frank’s most glamorous and important project.
The four mahogany chairs, offered here, have all hallmarks of this gifted creator.
The chairs are newly upholstered in a fine linen stripe.
