Description

Jules Leleu (1883 – 1961) designed this famous living room set of a canapé (couch) and three fauteuils (armchairs) in 1932. This set dates from 1945. The frames are of solid oak with bronze sabots on the front feet. The couch & chairs are upholstered in a tapestry woven at the “Aubusson Atelier Pinton” after a design by Paul-Elie Gerneze (1888-1948). A twin to the set is in the Collection Mobilier, Paris and is pictured in color in Leleu 50 Ans de Mobilier et de Decoration 1920 – 1970. One similar chair is pictured in Jules & Andre Leleu. The sofa measures 66” wide x 28” deep and the back is 33 ½” high. The three chairs are 24 ½” wide x 21” deep and 33 ½” high.
