“I like to think that M. de Feure’s boudoir is one of the most perfect and exquisite examples of decorative art our times have produced…It really is the best piece in the Bing pavilion, and perhaps even the entire 1900 World’s Fair.”
—Gabriel Mourey, 1900Georges de Feure designed the present model of side chairs, as well as the chaise longue and armchair which are also included in the present sale (lots 79 and 81), 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. Though these three designers each had their own unique styles within the art nouveau idiom, the pavilion as a whole is an art nouveau gesamtkunstwerk: a total work of art in which every detail was considered. The façade of the pavilion featured paintings of six allegorical figures who represented the various materials and disciplines on display: ironwork, jewelry, glass, pottery, leatherwork, sculpture, and architecture. The interior included a network of rooms that displayed these three designer’s furniture pieces as well as other decorative objects that, together, presented a new, modern way for living. The designers worked with various workshops and craftspeople to execute their vision and Bing’s workshops on the Rue Chauchat executed most of the furniture.
The dressing room of the L’Art Nouveau pavilion, which includes the present model pair of chairs and chaise longue, 1900. Eugene Gaillard, whose work is also included in the present sale (lot 68), furnished the main entrance hall, dining room, and one bedroom of the pavilion, and Edward Collona designed the drawing room. De Feure was left to design another bedroom, the dressing room, and the boudoir for the pavilion. Writers at the time particularly praised de Feure’s contributions to the pavilion. In the Revue des Arts Decoratifs, Gabriel Mourey noted, “I like to think that M. de Feure’s boudoir is one of the most perfect and exquisite examples of decorative art our times have produced…It really is the best piece in the Bing pavilion, and perhaps even the entire 1900 World’s Fair.”
Other works designed for Georges de Feure’s boudoir, including the present vanity, stool, and armoire will be on offer in Phillips’ upcoming Design: Online sale, which will be open for bidding from July 26 to August 2. Gustave Soulier specifically pointed out de Feure’s contributions in the periodical Art et Decoration, writing, “We can see that, in his boudoir and dressing room, M. de Feure has made every effort to create the most elegant and feminine interior possible, and one which clearly conforms to our native traditions.”
