He was one of the outstanding designers of furniture in the Art Nouveau style, and after 1901 formally served as one of the vice-presidents of the École de Nancy. The Majorelle firm's factory was designed by famous École de Nancy architect Lucien Weissenburger (1860 – 1929) and located at 6, rue du Vieil-Aître in the western part of Nancy. In the 1880s Majorelle turned out pastiches of Louis XV furniture styles, which he exhibited in 1894 at the Exposition d'Art Décoratif et Industriel [Exposition of Decorative and Industrial Art] in Nancy, but the influence of the glass- and furniture-maker Emile Gallé (1846 – 1904) inspired him to take his production in new directions. Beginning in the 1890s, Majorelle's furniture, embellished with inlays, took their inspiration from nature: stems of plants, waterlily leaves, tendrils, dragonflies. Before 1900 he added a metalworking atelier to the workshops, to produce drawerpulls and mounts in keeping with the fluid lines of his woodwork. His studio also was responsible for the ironwork of balconies, staircase railings...

  • Louis Majorelle - An Exquisite Art Nouveau Settee c. 1900
    Located in Heathfield, GB
    A most beautiful Art Nouveau solid padauk settee in the manner of Louis Majorelle and dating from c. 1900 with scroll carved top rail, wonderfully arched back and gilt bronze jasmine flower and leaf mounts to the front feet. The settee of such beautiful form and proportions, comfortable and well padded. Exceptionally heavy and solid with no movement in any joint. Louis Majorelle, the son of a cabinet maker, was born in Toul, France in 1859. He trained as an artist and later studied under Jean-Francois Millet at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1879 his father died and he returned to Nancy to take over the family workshop. He focussed on the style of Art Nouveau and began to make hand crafted and beautifully finished furniture conceived in that style. He worked in Mahogany and Walnut and in exotic timbers such as Padauk and Purple Heart (a tall cabinet held by the Victorian and Albert Museum) which he used in the solid on large pieces. He produced sinuous flowing designs, some with elaborate marquetry of flowers, vines, seaweed and fruits and some with similar and botanical gilt bronze mounts – orchids, hawthorn, jasmine and lilies. He was extremely prolific and produced hundreds of designs in every decade from 1880 through to the first half of the 1920s. Many of his pieces bore only a paper label and were not signed. This settee embodies the modified flowing and sinuous line that typifies his work. It is made in solid Padauk and is of incredible quality. The gilt bronze jasmine flower mounts, the sinuous carving and fine joinery are all very much in the manner of and attributable to Louis Marjorelle. In 1914 a fire swept through Majorelle’s workshop in Nancy and destroyed all of his furniture in production, catalogues and designs, so that much of his work remains unknown and un-catalogued. See ‘Louis Majorelle Master of Art Nouveau Design’ by Alistair Duncan. Louis Majorelle died in 1926 at his beautiful Villa Majorelle in Nancy, a house he designed and furnished personally. The settee has been newly and professionally re-upholstered in a superb quality Versaille gold velvet with three scatter cushions made in Safari black...
