Emile Galle a pair of ombelles chairs (France 1902)ConditiongoodDescription / ExpertiseSee for the description the Ombelles chair. We own a pair and I just decided to offer them as a pair.The price of the pair is 2x the price of one chair.I do not mind if someone just wants only one chair. Then I can keep the other one for myself. If someone wants the pair, it is fine as well. Both chairs come from the inheritance of the only grandson of Emile Galle. Both are in good condition with some old restaurations. Of both chairs the upholstery has been changed by the grandson somewhere between 1960-1980. Only the museum in Nancy and in Paris own two chairs. The buyer of these chairs is in good company. Description / Expertise Chair aux ombelliferes see the video by clicking here Lit. page 98 Emile Galle by Philippe Garner This chair once belonged to Emile Galle himself. One of the last designs made by Emile Galle before he died in 1904. The main theme is the great flower ombelliferes from the Kaukasus. The garden of the Ecole de Nancy has several of these flowers as a hommage to Galle. They are enormous . More then two meter high. The back of the chair is the flower and the stem of the flower goes to the ground to make the two behind legs. The chair is not only a chair, but mostly a piece of art. It was made in 1902, one of the last art nouveau pieces to be made. Not mass produced, only produced for Emile Galle himself and the Hannon house. This chair has been in several exhibitions. The last one was in the Musee du Luxembourg in Paris 1985-1986. It has always been the property of the Galle family, the last one was the grandson of Emile Galle, Jean Bourgogne. Gallery Tiny Esveld bought the chair from this inheritance. Mrs Esveld thinks this is the first time a chair like this one has been on the market. It is great opportunity that it is for sale. All the other chairs are in the musea, like the Ecole de Nancy, Musee d’Orsay or the museum of decorative arts in Paris.
