Note du spécialiste

cf. M. Vellay and K. Frampton, Pierre Chareau: Architecte-Meublier 1883-1950, Paris, 1984, p. 152.

This design was first exhibited at the 1925 Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes and is one of three versions known to have been produced for the French Embassy lounge (1925), for the Comte de Noailles's roof terrace at the Villa Hyères (1927), and for Hélèn Berheim, Comtess de Noailles (circa 1927).
