Magnificent mahogany secretary and mahogany veneer signed Jules Leleu (1883-1961).
This piece of furniture has a slaughter in the facade with a eighty in mahogany veneer with around Chamfered. The original key and lock are in perfect working order.
A flat hinge inlaid in brass articulates the frame with the flap. The latter is held by sliding brass compass inwards. The slaughter benefits from a rosewood veneer. Inlaid on it, we find the signature of Jules Leleu on an ivory plate. This flap is also garnished with its leather of original red -colored wine with cold sticker and golden ribbon. The tabernacle part is made up of two drawers with brass buttons and a large niche. The whole inner part is in rosewood veneer (drawers and shelf).
The top of this piece of furniture is overflowing and has an important throat in solid mahogany in its periphery.
Below the slaughter, a drawer with mahogany veneer in a butterfly wing is surrounded by a half-round protrusion baguette. This is hectic and convex downwards. The crosspiece dressed in half a brass half. This secretary rests on four solid mahogany feet. They are refined downwards with a throat in an inner part. The sides of this piece of furniture are in falling thread, also at the back.
This secretary directed by Jules Leleu benefits from an original varnish in perfect condition bringing out the red tones of the mahogany. The reflections are sublimated and bright.
This remarkable piece of furniture, with quality design will charm you with its refinement and elegance.
Jules Leleu (1883-1961) is a French cabinetmaker and designer, famous for adapting modernism with classic lines. It remains best known for its designs with simplified shapes, exotic woods as well as for its marquetry and its ivory inlay. He was born on June 17, 1883 and, after studying decorative painting, he took over his father's painting business at the age of 26 with his brother, Marcel. He opens a gallery, Maison Leleu, and devotes himself entirely to making furniture. In 1925, he exhibited at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts where he won the Grand Prix. His notoriety is gaining momentum and he designs the Île de France and Normandy ocean liners, as well as the French embassies around the world and the large ambassador fair at the Geneva Nations.
