Chair (Primary Title)
Jacques Gruber, French, 1870 - 1936 (Artist)
A prominent member of the School of Nancy, Jacques Gruber was one of its premier designers, cabinetmakers, and stained-glass artists. Gruber enjoyed prestige as a professor at the School of Decorative Arts in Nancy. His furniture designs are based on faithful recreations of nature, and this desk and chair appear to stem gracefully from the earth. He also excelled in the design and execution of stained-glass windows, an example of which can be seen above his desk in this bay.
Gift of Sydney and Frances Lewis
