Set of 10 Maurice Jallot Gondola Dining Chairs

About the Item

Set of ten French art deco gondola dining chairs by Maurice Jallot circa 1939. Mahogany and blue/green leather. Incised saber legs ending in brass sabots. Published in Mobilier et Décoration 1939 Fevrier. Provenance: Collection of Guy and Marie-Helene Weill. Mr. Weill and his wife, Marie-Hélène, were avid collectors, first in Abstract Expressionism and then in Asian art starting in the 1960s. They amassed a significant collection over the next 40 years. Mr. Weill came to the United States in 1938 and served in the US military, working in military intelligence and making use of his fluency in seven languages. After World War Il, he started a menswear store, British American House, which specialized in fashion with products by Burberry and Aquascutum. Marie-Helene emigrated to the US in 1939 with her parents and graduated from Radcliffe College in 1941. In 1942, she married Guy Weill (died 2006), with whom she shared a passion for music and art. Inspired by her work as a docent at The China Institute, she became a lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where in 2002, the Weills had a memorable show of their Chinese paintings, "The Cultivated Landscape." She and her husband were generous donors of art to the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard and Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian, the Brooklyn Museum, as well as patrons of the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, Asia Society and The China Institute. Maurice Jallot, born in Paris on March 11, 1900, studied at the Ecole Boulle and, from 1921, his father, Léon Jallot, introduced him to his work; little by little, Maurice Jallot, who oriented his research on the architectural level, assumed an increasingly important place in the house and, from 1935, completely directed the gallery he founded on François I. He exhibited in collaboration with his father at the 1925 Exhibition, from 1926 at the Salons des Artistes Décorateurs, then at the Tuileries and, since 1950, at the Arts Ménagers. He participated in the Colonial Exhibition in 1931 and the International Exhibition of 1937, then at those of Brussels and New York. In 1927 he had obtained a Travel Grant, in 1935, the Silver Medal of the Central Society of Architects and two Grand Prizes at the 1937 Exhibition. Maurice Jallot designed and produced, first in collaboration with his father, then under his sole responsibility, the important orders that the State entrusted to him: for the Elysée Palace, the Ministries of Fine Arts, Finance and P.T.T.; for the French Embassies in Warsaw and Israel, etc. He made installations on Messageries Maritimes liners, mass-produced furniture for the Cité Universitaire and installed luxury stores, hotels, industrial firms and private residences and properties in France and abroad. The Mobilier National, the Musées des Arts Décoratifs and de la Ville de Paris have acquired furniture by Maurice Jallot, as have the museums of Lyon, Grenoble, Amsterdam and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Although Maurice Jallot's personality has been asserted from one generation to the next, and in complete independence, it is quite obvious that he owes the best of himself to his early training with his father, Léon Jallot, who was one of the promoters of contemporary decorative art, whose aesthetic conceptions and extraordinary culture had a preponderant influence on the artists of his time, an influence from which his son benefited more than any other. But for Maurice Jallot and for those of his generation, new problems arose to which he strove to provide his own solutions. If he remains convinced that a piece of furniture must be a work of art in the same way as a painting or a sculpture, that it requires beautiful materials and perfect execution, he never considers it in isolation but in relation to the architectural ensemble in which he believes that the decorator must, obviously, participate. The volumes of a piece of furniture, the purity of its lines must harmonize with the proportions and all the elements of the room or the home for which it is designed. Faithful to the tradition of beautiful cabinetmaking and its technical refinements of marquetry, bronzes, tortoiseshell and ivory inlays, Maurice Jallot also likes to use, in certain cases, synthetic materials and on the other hand he has largely contributed, since 1949, to the rehabilitation of rattan. He sought practical, ingenious but well-balanced forms and demanded from the craftsmanship where the hand alone intervenes, a quality, a "style" which gives access to rattan furniture, not only in gardens and on terraces, but also in the most refined interiors to which it brings the appeal of its fantasy and its generous rusticity.
