Product Description
Product Description
Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann (1879-1933) was one of the greatest French cabinet makers and decorators. He used rare woods for the framework of his pieces, and ornamented them with ivory, tortoiseshell, lacquer, mirrors, silk and tooled metals, and also applied his artistic taste to lamps, wall coverings, rugs, beds, divans and cigar boxes, many of which are reproduced in this study of his life and work. It encompasses examples from all areas of Ruhlmann's output, and includes many sketches.

The work of a genius,
By S. Annetta - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ruhlmann, Master of Art Deco: Master of Art Deco (Hardcover)
A must-have reference book for designers, design enthusiasts, or fans of French Art Deco. Ruhlmann was one of France's most prolific furniture designers, and one of the greatest artistes of our time.Although he was criticized for creating objects only for the elite, everything he created is museum-quality and will be forever coveted by anyone with an appreciation for true Art Deco design. His use of rare and luxurious materials such as ebony and other rare woods, vellum, ivory, bronze, tortoise-shell, shagreen, doeskin, morocco, and eggshell lacquer only highlighted the beautiful forms he imagined, and pushed the boundaries of cabinet-making skills to have created. His invention of the `fuseau' leg enabled his craftsmen to make some of the most elegant furniture ever produced. The many photos and sketches included of furniture, lighting, rugs and interiors of his design are invaluable to anyone in the trade. A true bible in every sense of the word and a great source of inspiration. 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful
