Chair (Primary Title)
Jean Dunand, Swiss (active in France), 1877 - 1942 (Artist)
These lacquered chairs are identical to ones in black that were designed for the French Embassy Smoking Room, which was part of the Pavilion of the Society of Artists-Decorators at the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris. Two hammered vases, also in this gallery, are examples of Dunand’s earliest work in lacquer.
