Designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann French
Designed 1922; manufactured 1925–26
Not on view
Ruhlmann fu il più famoso designer francese del periodo dell’Art Deco. La raffinatezza estetica, i materiali preziosi e l’impeccabile tecnica costruttiva fanno sì che le sue opere siano paragonabili ai più bei mobili del Settecento, a cui l’artista si ispirò nella forma e nelle decorazioni. Nel 1925 il Museo commissionò questo armadietto, una variante di uno in precedenza acquistato dallo stato francese, per cui fu denominato “État”. Ruhlmann talvolta ripeteva i modelli dei suoi mobili, cambiandone alcuni particolari in base alle preferenze del cliente. L’impiallacciatura in legno e avorio è molto elaborata e ricorda un complicato puzzle.
