Important Louis Majorelle Art Nouveau Desk and Chair, Bookcase & Filing Cabinet
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique museum quality, 4-piece Parisian Art Nouveau office furniture set. As far as we know, this is the most complete, Louis Majorelle office furniture set that has been offered in the world in the past 50 years. Most collectors and enthousiasts will know how rare a set like this is, but what makes it even more astonishing is its condition. Apart from the leather on the back of the original desk chair, this set could hardly be in better condition and it would certainly grace any museum for applied arts. The only known office set that comes close to this original and complete set is in the collection of the MAAS museum in Sydney, Australia. So if you are looking for an original, great condition and very rare, antique office interior by one of the world's best Art Nouveau designers then this is your chance. We are convinced it will be the only one you'll ever get. Also, because the Majorelle filing cabinet in this set is the first filing cabinet by Louis Majorelle that we have ever seen. For this amazing set of four we have created three listings so that we are able to show you enough pictures of the many hand carved and hand-crafted wooden, bronze, glass and design details per item. Mind you, this marvelous and highly practical Art Nouveau 'desk' or 'bureau plat' (with original chair) is the second of the three listings that, together, show and describe this unique Louis Majorelle office set of amazing quality and beauty. Image 9 of this listing shows the complete set as shot in one of our facilities. Art Nouveau pieces of furniture by Louis Majorelle are like large sculptures and that can certainly be said of this striking desk and chair. A much more experienced antique seller...
