Pair of Normandie Chairs by Pierre Patout

Description
“Pair of French Art Deco armchairs designed by Pierre Patout for the S.S. Normandie (circa 1934). Crafted in solid mahogany with striking fluted detail to the seat, arms, and back. Upholstered in royal blue velvet and enhanced with brass sabots, these chairs embody the luxury and modernism of the famed ocean liner’s first-class interiors.”
These chairs were specifically designed for the ship’s grand dining salon, which was famed for its illuminated Lalique crystal columns and sumptuous modern interiors—among the greatest achievements of transatlantic ocean liner design.

Pierre Patout (1879–1965) was a leading Art Deco architect and designer, noted for commissions such as the Normandie, Ile de France, and L’Atlantique liners. His Normandie chairs, produced by Établissements Neveu in France, are now sought-after collectors’ items for their provenance, quality, and historical significance.
