• Notes:
  The dining suite was designed by the French decorator and furniture designer Louis Majorelle (1859-1926) who earned his worldwide notoriety with his own designs of Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. After 1901, he created the most famous and unique Ecole de Nancy style. Inspired and influence by colleagues, Emile Gallé and Victor Prouvé, Majorelle embellished his pieces with inlays and distinct metal work, which are evident in the design of this bedroom suite. In 1901, Louis Majorelle became one of the founding members of the Ecole de Nancy in Lorraine. Majorelle belonged to a group of artists, architects, art critics and industrialists whose aim was to ensure a high standard of quality of work in the French decorative arts. Majorelle’s work achieved international recognition after being displayed at the Musée de l’école de Nancy in Nancy, and today a large collection can be seen at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
