We seem to be running on a little luck today! Presented here is a wonderful suite by master decorator Paul Follot. We just finished this perfect restoration, respecting the original design and using a wonderful rich brownish-gold velvet-mohair fabric. The subtle contrast of matching gimp brings out the stunning lines of the suites frame and design. Place close attention to the floral rosettes on the top and detailed wood skirt with quite unusual leg and foot treatment. These are all elements seen in the work of Paul Follot from the period (circa 1925). Some say this represents the first high period of true Art Deco (and from the strongest French tradition). This 3 piece set could create a stunning room, both for its intimate design and sophisticated splendor. Very comfortable: of course and ready for your personal period of true high Art Deco!

Paul Follot, 1877 Paris 1941 Sainte-Maxime French decorator and crafts designer, was an Art déco traditionalist. From 1901-1903 he designed silver objects, textiles, bronzes and jewelry for the Paris gallery La Maison Moderne, run by the German art dealer Julius Meier-Graefe 1899-1903 in Paris. In it Meier-Graefe sold contemporary and, like Siegfried Bing in his gallery, L'Art Nouveau (1895-1904), promoted the spread and popularity of the new Art nouveau style. The designer Maurice Dufrêne, whose work exerted a strong influence on Paul Follot, also worked for Meier-Graefe. Paul Follot's early designs reveal the influence of Neo-Gothic, with foliate motifs predominating. In 1903 a - little known - group of artists joined forces as "L'Art dans Tout" and Paul Follot was a founding member. This group vociferously supported French crafts traditions since artisans felt threatened by the inexorable advance of industrialization, especially by the rapid rise of German industrial design. From 1904 Paul Follot worked as a self-employed designer. A more reticent and classical style began to show up in his work from 1910 and in this he was following the general trend toward Art déco. Throughout his career, Paul Follot designed silver for Orfèvrerie Christofle, textiles for Cornille et Cie and carpets for Savonnerie. In 1911 the English Wedgwood company commissioned designs from Paul Follot for their china. In 1923 Paul Follot became artistic director of Au Bon Marché. From 1928 Follot was one of the directors of the Paris branch of the English furniture company Waring & Gillow.

Offered here today is a fantastic shape and original design of French club or side chairs, sometimes referred to as salon chairs. Not your typical boxy modernist streamline art deco chairs. These have a beautiful curved back, interesting shape with unusual carved arms, a detail often seen in the work by the French artist Paul Follot. We did change the seat fabric (original was worn out) to a nice blending ultra suede, but were able to keep all else original throughout, a kind of African inspired modernist repeat animal print. It is not often possible to do this, but I bought them planning to restore them with this in mind. We have done a nice refreshing on the wood finish, tightened the original copper springs and replaced most of the French nails to create a consistent color all over. It is really a treat to find French fabric like this and be able to preserve the original design and intention of these beauties. They are ready for another 50 years.

A wonderful design, great wood treatment and a style of seating we do not find often enough. Spectacular Macassar side panels in a solid wood frame. The fabric is new, but has a great retro feel, a sort of soft tweed in solid burgundy leaning with a slight red accented with outstanding contrasting gimp piping. It just sets the whole thing off. Photos do not do them justice, so you might just have to fly into the shop and take a seat. Cushy feel and nice size, not to large, but very luxurious with a wonderful lush down stuffed loose cushion seat. We were fortunate enough to find 4, so if you have a the kind of room where you can use 4 chairs in one area then Great. We are selling them in pairs until they are gone.

This is a custom made chair taken from an original set we once had. It is truly fit for a king. Very comfortable and slightly over-sized. Beautiful mohair seating in both rich burgundy and creamy yellow. Great American movie theater kind of chair. Just sit back, relax and begin the evening in this lush soft, cozy chair. Martini's anyone?

First time we've tried to re-create these wonderful French style club chairs. Inspired from a chair I found many years ago in France, these beauties have all of the impact, feel and comfort from the kind of chair you would LOVE to sit in. This is specially chosen leather (of the highest quality) and antiqued by hand, produced to give that wonderful aged glaze look you only see in old chairs. The great thing about these chairs is this: although they have been slightly reliced, the leather is not cracked or in a state of ruination as you typically find in old original leather club chairs. Completed with a mohair seat (which is an authentic detail) and antiqued brass nails heads. Also, notice the detail of the leather front feet, again something you rarely see in old chairs or new.

The size is great and I am sure you can imagine these in your private viewing room or just in viewing your private fireplace. They are sold in pairs and right now we have 4 pieces total in stock. Someone is going to love these, come in and try them on for size.

A wonderful settee, recently restored. If you have that perfect little window, or corner, this is a lovely sofa. Look at all the nice carved details in the arms (but not too much) and the wonderful stepped upward shape of the back. Even the outline of the frame stylized to accentuates the back. Looks wonderful from the front or the back. A wonderful sofa, newly upholstered with a cream acorn motif fabric (tone on tone).

Here is a sofa suite that is really special, the photos just do not show it off quite as well as should be. In any case, this is a newly reupholstered period suite, I believe from the late 1940's. Great workmanship, all pieces are perfectly upholstered in a rich bookbinder's green ultra suede. One of those colors that transforms with the light, the room and the way the nap is resting. Construction is all very well done, tight cushions with channel backs, my favorite for looks and also for longevity. This set can be as "glam" as you want to be, or as "fun" as you feel. I've never seen all 3 pieces before, we once has a single chair. I love the relationship you see to these nice sweeping angular lines of the chairs and sofa. It will really set off a room! When you sit in the chairs, they sort of "wrap you in them", the only thing missing? The dry martini or in the case of those sweet ladies we know, a little nip and tuck!

Well I don't know who needs it but someone is going to get this suite and love it. Original French Cozy Corner, circa 1930's, using spectacular book-matched "circadian" walnut with "wild" black grain OVER THE TOP! This set has it all: desk section - secretary, end bookcase, bed bookcase and the most wonderful sofa/couch using wonderful leather and classic mohair (upholstered like all of our sofas and very comfortable). Someone better stop me now, because I am getting just too too cozy "ooh"! The set comes apart into 3 sections and I guess it is possible to put the secretary/desk on the other end if your room required that adjustment to the installation. A really fun piece which would be a great addition to your library, guest room or cineplex.

Offered here is our latest creation. We had a pair of these chairs a few months ago and there was so much interest in them, we decided to re-create them for those of you who missed them the first time. Of course they are identical in every way except we found some fabulous Art Deco fabric inspired fabric that takes them to another level. The wonderful "volute" style design (a kind of abstract fountain) is about the best "new" fabric we've seen in years. The contrasting creamy mohair adds that elegant touch of period and sensibility. They also swivel so I am sure you can imagine all the fun one could have sharing cocktails on a pair of these. They would be ideal for an intimate corner setting, an special bedroom or an addition to your living room set up. Just enough style and design to make a serious statement and live in the world of art deco glamour!

We are always trying to take our restored and re-upholstered sofa suites a step further. They have become a sort of trade mark here at Art Deco Collection.com. We are not shy about exploring our design ideas, just look through all of our "sold" items at the bottom of this page (lots of great ideas). This particular set is like no other one we've done before. I was inspired by a recently acquired book on European Art Deco chairs and sofas (I mean we have to get our ideas somewhere). This new idea using the oversized leather welting looks dynamic, in order to really make it comfortable to sit on, we had to insert or recess the welting so if felt natural as you leaned back sipping your dry martini! No problem here!

We are using some of the highest quality materials here, great mohair with some of fines leather skins we are able to buy. We do not spare any cost in these restorations. Of course we love the "tight" cushion seating and the oversized round arms, which not only look great, but you can flip your legs over the size and melt back into either the chair of sofa. Another little detail is the leather channels on the lower front bands of both the sofa and chairs. Its all here for you to enjoy "for a lifetime".

A wonderful original and restored Art Deco sofa. A real visual treat. The piece was lovingly restored! Please take note to see the beautifully inlayed abalone and mother of pearl inlay in the wood, executed in a kind of modernist pattern (not random for sure). Someone originally took care to design this with the utmost care and use of fine materials. This newly reupholstered piece has a dynamic fabric that certainly will draw your attention not only to its unique and exquisite shape, but also offers an point of view that would be hard to find anywhere else. This one of a kind piece is looking for just the right home and just maybe you are the right person!
