Georges de Feure designed the present model armoire, as well as the cabinet and dressing table which are also included in the present sale (lots 33 and 37), for art dealer Siegfried Bing’s “L’Art Nouveau Pavilion” at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. For this project, Bing brought together three artists who now represent some of the best craftsmanship of the period: Eugene Gaillard, Edward Colonna, and Georges de Feure. The interior included a network of rooms that displayed these three designers' furniture pieces as well as other decorative objects that, together, presented a new, modern way for living.

It is impossible to discern if the present dressing table (lot 37) was also presented at Bing’s pavilion in 1900, but the same model was included in de Feure’s dressing room suite.
