About the Item

E´mile Bernaux was decorator, designer en sculptor in wood, and began to produce from 1909 on. He created numerous furniture ensembles. Bernaux worked with oak, mahogany, sometimes gilded wood and often, as from 1923 on, with the exotic May Dou wood. He was a professor at the 'E´cole des Arts de´coratifs' in Paris from 1904 to 1921 and teached anatomy. He exhibited from 1911 to 1929 on a regular basis at the 'Artistes De´corateurs', but also took part in exhibitions of the 'Salon des Artistes Franc¸ais', the 'Nationale des Beaux-Arts' and the 'Salon d'Automne'. Bernaux was awarded with a diplo^me d'honneur (honorary diploma) at the 'Exposition internationale des arts de´coratifs et industriels modernes' in 1925. A picture of the Bernaux Stand shows a furniture ensemble created by different artists. The Stand itself was created by architect Alfred Levard (1879-1953), the furniture by E´mile Bernaux, the chandelier by Adalbert George Szabo (1877-1961), the embroidery by Guilly after Lucien Levy-Dhurmer (1865-1953), the carpet by Coupe, the sculpture by Felix Desruelles (1865-1943) and Oury, and the vase by Jean Mayodon (1893-1967). This Art Deco cupboard has one large door and is richly decorated with asymmetrical geometric motifs. Gilt brass for the keyhole cover and key. Type of wood: burl Thuja plicata. The Thuja (giant tree of life and the Provincial tree of British Columbia) native to western North America and also known as Western Red Cedar to indicate it is not a true cedar (Cedrus), belongs to the cypress family (Cupressaceae). Burl Thuya wood is very compact and shows vivid and wild patterns. H. 192,50 cm, W. 97 cm, D. 50 cm Sources: Be´ne´zit, E.
