Carved Mahogany Armchair ‘Les Pins’ by Louis Majorelle

This hand-carved wooden armchair, named “Le Pins,” embodies the Art Nouveau style of Louis Majorelle, featuring intricate carvings of pine needles and pinecones. Reflecting Majorelle’s affiliation with the Ecole d’Nancy, renowned for infusing their creations with motifs inspired by their native region, the pine needles symbolize the aromatic pine forests of the Haute Vosges. These forests were home to woodcutters residing in villages nestled amidst the snow-capped mountainsides. The chair is upholstered with colored damask embroidery of roses and peonies, perfectly complicating the rich tones of the Mahogany wood.
