專家說明

This service is part of a large and important commission made by Pierre Legrain for Madame Jeanne Tachard for her villa at La Celle-Saint-Cloud. The original commission comprised two canteens, one containing coral bakelite handled pieces, presented here, the other with green bakelite handled items. Legrain was introduced to Madame Tachard by the celebrated couturier Jacques Doucet for whom he had already been working closely for years.

Discussing Legrain’s furniture and schemes for the villa in L’Amour de l’Art, the critic Gaston Varenne notes ‘here Legrain has truly expressed the full measure of his talent’ and highlights Legrain’s ability to reinvent himself and his design vocabulary, drawing a parallel with the cubists’ search for a new formal language.
