专家说明

Eileen Gray worked in lacquer on numerous occasions assisted by the craftsman Seizo Sugarwara. These tools were used to cut into the lacquer to create decorative outlines.

Gray opened her shop Jean Désert on Rue Faubour St-Honoré in 1922 but when clients wrote to M. Jean Désert she changed the name to Désert et Gray. The EG monogram was designed in the 1920s but not used until her works were reproduced by Aram in the 1970s.
