Jules
Leleu Following his first exhibition in 1922 and throughout his career, Jules Leleu was considered to be one of the most talented designers of his time. He created furniture and interiors for some of the greatest ocean liners, embassies and private residences from the 1920's through the 1950's. His furniture and designs were always of the highest quality and materials, never compromising on luxurious details and fine craftsmanship. Rare woods and precious materials such as ivory or mother-of-pearl were used to inlay pieces; silver or bronze to highlight a curve; fine Aubusson tapestries to dress a chair. With a career spanning some 60 years, Jules Leleu and his children, André and Paule, have left an incredible impression on the world of decorative arts.
