A lacquered chest of drawers 1920<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

To mark the centenary of Art Deco<\/strong>, Moissonnier is honoring its 1920 lacquered chest of drawers, inspired by a model signed Paul Follot<\/strong>, one of the “inventors” of this emblematic movement. An Art Deco rarity in the collection<\/strong>, this piece combines luxury, innovation and craftsmanship<\/strong>, embodying the daring spirit of these particularly creative years.<\/p>\n\n

Paul Follot<\/strong>, a French cabinetmaker and interior designer, is regarded as one of the founding fathers of Art Deco<\/strong>. His designs, characterised by geometric lines, stylised floral motifs and ostentatious luxury<\/strong>, had a profound influence on 20th-century design. This original chest of drawers,<\/strong> designed for his Parisian flat, is distinguished by a striking central floral motif,<\/strong> symbolic of an era when art and industry came together to create unique pieces. <\/p>\n\n
