About

Jacques Emile Ruhlmann (1879-1933)
Jacques Emile Ruhlmann is a self-taught designer and one of the prominent figures of French Art Deco, his creations are displayed at the Autumn Salon in 1910. While not educated to the crafting of wood furniture, he personally follows the whole making process of his own designs. His creations perpetuate the great tradition of French furniture. The balance and sleekness of forms, the elegance of lines, remind of artists from the 18th and 19th centuries such as Reisener.
Through his career Ruhlmann completed several state commands, conceiving for instance home furniture and decors for the Elysee Palace, as well as numerous private orders, working for the Maharaja of Indore in 1932, the Rothschild bankers, Rodier, Puiforcat or famous French writer Colette.
