MARC DU PLANTIER (1901-1975)

This example is one of several variations, executed with a variety of different surface treatments to include gilded iron and Antique-patinated faux-bronze, created for the Jacques Heim maison de couture, 15 avenue Matignon, Paris. Dupré-Lafon’s extensive conception for this important and well-exposed interior was to prove instrumental in developing the decorator’s clientele at the highest levels of international society. The wrought-iron chairs created for this interior are documented (op. cit., p. 119) as having been executed by Pougiat, 31 rue des Cloÿs.
