Lot 76 Georges De Bardyere

A PAIR OF ART DECO MAHOGANY AND VELVET FAUTEUILS, by Georges De Bardyere, c.1925, signed. French Art Deco furniture and object designer, de Bardyere exhibited regularly at the Paris Salons beginning in 1919. A review of the 1921 Salon commented on his sycamore mirror and in 1922 his dining room in Cuban mahogany and burled wood exactly caught the sentiment of contemporary modern life. At the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris de Bardyere had his own exhibition on the Esplanade des Invalides. A year later at the Salon d'Automne he received a fine review in Mobilier et Decoration, a testament to his excellent cabinetmaking, worthy of its French past. Maintaining a high quality level, de Bardyere was always admirably careful in his choice of woods, favouring palisander and mahogany, amboyna and rosewoods. He continued to exhibit through the 1930s.
