About the Item

A Rare French Mid-Century Gilt Wrought Iron Stool / Bench by Rene Drouet, France, 1940. Drouet was one of the most important pre WWII creators in France and this work was emblematic of his style with its exceptional Neo-baroque form using dramatic curving legs and rhythmic, lyrical curving forms along the apron. This is balanced by the sober rectangular seat covered in a neutral leather. The bench / stool offers a quiet sense of drama to an interior and works as an occasional piece or vanity stool. Dimensions: H 16.5” x 20 x 17.25”. Seat dimensions: 16 x 13.75. Additional References: French Art Deco, Rene Prou, Gilbert Poillerat, Andre Arbus, Jacques Adnet. Jacques Quinet, Marc du Plantier. Alberto and Diego Giacometti, Jean-Michel Frank.
