Item Description
Jean-Maurice Rothschild (1902–1998) an important pair of ocean liner chauffeuses, CA. 1934.
Made in 1934 for the Salon of Normandie. Each chair with a carved and gilt wood frame, hand tied spring cushion support with a nice clean silk upholstery. Pairs of chairs are scarce and have been sold at Christies for between $13,000 to $23,000 per pair depending on condition.
Designed by Jean Maurice Rothschild some time between 1927-1934 and are believed to be from the SS Normandie or the SS Ile de France. These chairs celebrate the classic French aesthetic, with carved giltwood frames and wide seats.
These French ocean liners were celebrated as examples of French technological achievements and were treated as floating versions of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts), with French designers commissioned to decorate the ships' interiors in the Art Deco style.

Minor losses to gilt decoration, but overall present well.
