newShagreen Lacquered Giltwood Curule Stool Attributed to Pierre Legrain
A rare Art Deco shagreen black lacquered giltwood Stool in the Africanist style Attributed to Pierre Legrain. France: circa 1925 He was introduced to bookbinding on his own when Jacques Doucet, couturier and great art collector, took the young artist under his wing as an employee and assigned him the task of binding his collection of books. Pierre Legrain then sets up his workshop in the patron's apartments Jacques Doucet wishes to harmonize the decoration of his apartment with his art collections, and this is how the collaboration with Pierre Legrain was oriented towards the creation of exceptional furniture that mixes influences of cubism and a African art particularly prized by the couturier. Jacques Doucet's apartment is conceived as a real staging, a setting that is itself a work of art. In this period of the early 20s, Pierre Legrain met Jeanne Tachard, friend of Jacques Doucet, whose collection of African art inspired the creator. She will, following Jacques Doucet, ask Pierre Legrain for the total development of his villa in the manner, also, of a total work of art, spaces, furniture, objects, lighting and garden which will become emblematic. literature:literature: Art Deco Furniture, Duncan, pg. 133, no. 144
