More information
An exceptional dining room set in molded, ribbed, and carved solid walnut, comprising a tall sideboard, a serving table, a rectangular table, and eight chairs. The sideboard, with its deeply molded and shaped cornice, opens in the center with two glazed doors adorned with superb gilt-bronze scrolls, a niche, two drawers with substantial handles, and two solid doors in the lower section. The two sides open with two glazed doors in the upper section and two solid doors in the lower section. The serving table opens with two drawers on the stepped top, two solid doors, and a niche in the lower section. The uprights are curved and doubled into arches to support the rounded corners. The top is made of Aleppo breccia marble. The rectangular table with rounded corners features shaped and molded bands. It rests on four cabriole legs, each with a double leg joined by a stretcher. The two side panels slide out, providing an additional 4 meters of extension. The chairs, with their openwork backs carved with scrolls, have been fully restored by our upholsterer and are covered in patinated leather. The entire set truly represents Eugène Gaillard's skill; he didn't faithfully depict plant forms, but rather transformed them into fantastical motifs. Museum quality! Eugène Gaillard, a French architect and designer, was born in Paris on January 31, 1862, and died there in 1933. He joined the Art Nouveau firm directed by Siegfried Bing in Paris, working alongside Georges de Feure and Edouard Colonna to create interiors for Bing's pavilion at the 1900 Paris Exposition. The abstract, minimalist forms of his furniture reflected a rejection of past artistic styles
