N2  - Rarely seen desks, bureaus, sideboards, and tables designed by the Art Deco master Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann (1879-1933) are superbly reproduced in this first book about his life and work; One of the greatest French cabinetmakers and decorators, Ruhlmann used rare woods for the framework of his priceless pieces and ornamented them with ivory, tortoiseshell, lacquer, mirrors, silk, and tooled metals. He also applied his impeccable taste to lamps, wall coverings, rugs, beds, divans, and cigar boxes. This essential volume encompasses examples from all areas of Ruhlmann's output, reproduces many sketches, and includes a brief biography and bibliography
