Side chair
Eugène Gaillard French
Not on view
This chair was designed as part of the furnishings of a model dining room in the pavilion "L'Art Nouveau Bing," at the great Exposition Universelle Internationale of 1900 in Paris. It was Gaillard's first major opportunity to display his designs and the exhibition established him virtually overnight as a foremost disciple of the modern movement. The chair, with its fluid lines and the embossed tracery of whiplash curves on the amber leather back epitomizes the Art Nouveau style.
