By Maurice Jallot, France, circa 1940 Size: 16 1/2" high x 25 3/4" diameter Maurice Jallot, born in 1900 is the son of Léon Jallot who was also a woodcarver, cabinetmaker and decorator. Upon graduating from the Ecole Boulle, in Paris, he worked for the famous architect and designer, Louis Süe and shortly after joined his father’s studio in 1921. The furniture made by the firm was soon exhibited with both their names attached. However, at the occasion of the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1928, Maurice Jallot’s work was exhibited next to his father’s but separately designated and signed only with his name; as the two men often worked apart from each other. The pieces of Maurice Jallot showed his taste for a modernist style, more than the one of his father, a traditionalist. Throughout his career, Jallot created furniture and decorative objects distinguished by their elegant style and meticulous attention to detail. He was known for his use of high-quality materials, such as precious woods, ivory, brass and marble, as well as for his refined cabinet-making techniques. His creations were often characterized by clean geometric shapes, curved lines and exotic decorative motifs. Jallot drew on a variety of influences, including African, Egyptian and Asian art, to create unique and original pieces. Maurice Jallot's reputation quickly spread beyond France. His creations were exhibited at numerous international shows, notably in Paris, London and New York, where he won several prestigious awards. As a decorator, Maurice Jallot collaborating with renowned architects of the time and realized the furniture for numerous apartments and shops. He also worked for the Elysée, the French presidents’ palace, ministries, French embassies in Poland and Israel. His creations included tea rooms, private mansions, yachts and even luxury liners. He retired in the 1950's and died in 1971. His creations continue to be admired and sought after by collectors and art deco enthusiasts worldwide, testifying to his talent and contribution to the aesthetics of his time.

Pictured in Mobilier et Decoration, 1947. Maurice Jallot (1900-1971) Maurice Jallot was born in Paris during the 1900 Exposition Universelle – an auspicious beginning for a career in the arts. He studied at the Ecole Boulle in Paris and upon graduating, joined his father’s (Leon Jallot) studio in 1921. He left for a while to gain outside experience and rejoined the firm in 1930. A versatile and imaginative designer, Maurice Jallot exhibited a range of pieces and ensembles at the annual salons, some in partnership with his father and some singly. For the 1925 L'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes - the World's fair held in Paris, France, from April to October 1925 the Jallots provided furnishings for the Hotel du Collectionneur (grand salon), Ambassade Francaise, La Societe Noel, La Maison de Bretagne, and Gouffe Jeune. Their furniture in the 1920s was fabricated from woods – palisander, walnut, pearwood, amboyna, camphor. From the mid-1920s the Jallots faced the Challenge common to all woodworkers: whether to adjust to, or fight, the revolutionary introduction of glass and metal.
