About the Item

A Masterful Statement Piece: Art Deco Credenza Attributed to Jules Leleu This exquisite Art Deco credenza, attributed to the renowned French designer Jules Leleu, embodies the elegance and functionality that defined the Art Deco era. While unmarked, the piece showcases design elements consistent with Leleu's work, making it a true collector's gem. A Symphony of Materials and Design: Crafted from a luxurious blend of flamed ash, birdseye maple, and contrasting rosewood, the credenza boasts exceptional craftsmanship. An elaborate marquetry design adorns the surface, showcasing meticulous attention to detail and a touch of artistry. Gleaming bronze hardware, including caps, rings, sabots, and original keys, adds the perfect finishing touch, complementing the rich wood tones. Exceptional Storage and Modern Appeal: Open the four gently curved doors to reveal a well-organized interior with shelves, providing ample storage for various belongings. This fusion of exquisite design and functionality exemplifies the best of Art Deco. A Timeless Treasure for Your Home: Measuring 21.63 in. Deep x 90.75 in. Wide x 36.50 in. High, this credenza would be a captivating centerpiece in any contemporary, Art Deco, or modern setting. Its timeless design transcends eras, making it a valuable addition to any discerning collector's home. For additional protection, we can include a custom-made glass top. Don't Miss the Opportunity: Pair this credenza with our complimentary Art Deco Display Cabinet in the same exquisite style, also attributed to Jules Leleu. From the same estate, we also have a set of 6 Art Deco dining chairs available (sold separately). Attribution: Jules Leleu (FRANCE, 1883-1961) A designer and ensemblier, Jules Leleu was one of the key authors of the Art Deco movement. While he did not win the fame of such contemporaries as Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann and Jean-Michel Frank, Leleu had a longer career and was easily their peer in the conception of trim, refined furniture forms and in the use of the opulent materials — from lacquer and ivory to sharkskin and exotic woods — that were a keynote of haute Art Deco design. Leleu was born into a family of artisans and decorators. Their firm, Maison Leleu, had existed since the 18th century and Jules would guide it through much of the 20th. (The business lasted until 1973, headed at the end by Jules's children.) He studied architecture, served as an aviator in World War I, and after the conflict took up design full-time. Leleu presented work at the 1925 exposition in Paris that gave us the term Art Deco, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York purchased a burl amboyna wood commode by Leleu directly from the show. As the furniture presented here shows, Leleu was a stickler for precision Craft and preferred to let his materials do the talking — his furniture is generally spare and sleek; its presence is established by figuring (or patterning/graining) in the wood and the occasional marquetry medallion. He had a keen eye for currents in design, and an adaptable sensibility. Maison Leleu would embrace many of the starker forms of modernism after the 1940s, as well as new materials such as artificial lacquer and plastics (then considered cutting-edge rather than cheap). Jules Leleu is a guiding light of 20th-century modernism: a man whose work represents both a devotion to traditional handiwork and an appreciation for the next wave in design.
