An elegant and finely executed pair of French Art Deco bergères by Maison Dominique, one of the most celebrated Parisian decorating firms of the Art Deco period. Founded in 1922 by André Domin and Marcel Genevrière, Maison Dominique became renowned for interiors and furnishings that combined the refinement of classical French craftsmanship with the clean, architectural lines of modern design. These beautifully proportioned club chairs exemplify the firm's restrained elegance. Each side chair features a gracefully curved barrel back framed by fluted tubular front uprights, terminating in ball sabots, with short splayed rear legs. The gently clover shaped crest rail is inlaid along its entire length with alternating Macassar ebony stringing, while the fluted front uprights are accented with contrasting Macassar ebony capped arm posts, creating a subtle yet sophisticated decorative effect characteristic of Dominique's finest work. The hardwood frames highlighting the warm mahogany tones and the striking Macassar ebony inlay have a traditional hand rubbed French polish finish. The tub chairs retain their vintage mauve crushed velvet upholstery, finished with vintage decorative gimp trim outlining the upholstered panels. The generous loose seat cushions have a soft feel and are perhaps down -filled, making these exceptionally comfortable lounge chairs while maintaining their refined Art Deco profile. One can either use them as they are upholstered or use this as an opportunity to recover the chairs in a fabric of your choosing, while preserving the original foundation. This rare and stylish pair of fauteuils perfectly captures the understated luxury and impeccable craftsmanship for which Maison Dominique is admired. This pair is unsigned. Documentation featuring a photo of the chair provided from a page in " Le Style 1925", Baschet et Cie, Editeurs 13 Rue Saint-Georges, Paris- Textes D'Yvonne Brunhammer conservateur au Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Paris . About Maison Dominique Founded in Paris in 1922, Maison Dominique quickly established itself as one of the leading decorating houses of the French Art Deco movement. The firm specialized in complete interior schemes, furniture, lighting, and decorative objects, distinguished by exceptional craftsmanship, elegant proportions, and a restrained modernism that contrasted with the more lavish designs of some contemporaries. Maison Dominique exhibited at the landmark Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in 1925, the exhibition that gave the Art Deco movement its name and introduced its aesthetic to an international audience. In 1926, André Domin and Marcel Genevrière became members of the prestigious Groupe des Cinq, alongside Jean Puiforcat, Pierre Chareau, Pierre Legrain, and Raymond Templier—a select circle of designers who helped define the highest standards of French Art Deco design. Today, furniture by Maison Dominique is prized by collectors for its timeless elegance, superb construction, and sophisticated use of luxurious materials.

Andre Antoine Lardin, also known as N.B. Lardin was born in 1724 and died on 10 August 1790. He held his master's title from 1 July 1750 and was particularly respected for the exceptional quality of his veneering / marquetry. A well known and regarded maître ébéniste, Lardin’s career is somewhat thinly documented, most likely due to the upheaval and record destruction during the Revolution, notably when the guilds in Paris and elsewhere were abolished in 1791. Lardin worked for various marchand-mercier (furniture dealers) and probably also for a private clientele. He ran his workshop first in the Rue de Charenton and from 1770 in the Rue Saint-Nicolas. His two sons, André Antoine II and Louis François, worked with him for some time and the second-named became his successor in the Rue Saint-Nicolas. Lardin is known to have worked for the marchands André-François Carré, this superb commode having almost most certainly been commissioned through the intervention of one of these fashionable dealers. The marchand-mercier André-François Carré, is recorded rue Froidmanteau, "Magasin de glaces, porcelaine ébénisterie et curiosités pour les cabinets d'histoire naturelle." Carré also worked with two vernisseurs (vernis Martin): Porchon and Prévost. All of Lardin's furniture is classic in form and decor, well crafted and mostly veneered in rosewoods or violet wood. Lardin worked in the taste of the time with geometric patterns, cartouche fields and simulated fluting. Furniture with elaborate inlays such as birds, trophies, urns, landscapes, or flowers and sunburts such as this stunning example appear more rarely. The stamp JME stands for Jures Menuisiers Ebeniste and notes the guild affiliation of the master. The Corporation des Menuisiers-Ébénistes was a French craft guild which was concerned with the profession of woodworking. Some JME stamps are worn down from the marble slab over the years and no longer apparent, but in this case lacking the JME stamp is likely indicative of work made prior to reaching maître ébéniste (master cabinetmaker), denoting an early and exceedingly scarce example.
