Pair of chairs by Jules Émile Leleu

Designed by Jules Leleu, an emblematic figure of French decoration in the 20th century, this piece is part of the revival of the Art Deco style of which he was one of the great representatives. It incorporates the essential codes of this movement that emerged in France in the early 20th century: elegant lines, noble materials, and meticulous finishes. Art Deco furniture is particularly distinguished by the use of precious, often exotic woods, and by lacquered surfaces that provide depth and shine.
