Léon Benouville, Art Nouveau Oak Desk or Side Chair with Subtle Organic Lines
£850
An oak desk or side chair designed by Léon Benouville (1860–1903) in the Art Nouveau style. The gently curving frame and subtly flared legs display the fluid organic lines characteristic of the French decorative arts at the turn of the century. The upholstered seat and panelled back are framed with refined joinery and understated carved detail. This piece exemplifies Benouville’s restrained approach to Art Nouveau furniture, where structure and ornament merge seamlessly to express natural form through craftsmanship.
