Description
Nics console, single pedestal (#1893)
Classic French Art Deco console by Nics Freres, circa 1925, in forged iron 38” wide x 34” high x 16” deep. The Nics brothers, Michel and Jules, were Hungarian metalworkerss and furniture makers, were active in Paris beginning in the later years of the 20th Century’s first decade.They were known for their fine iron work which was produced, completely by hand, to the highest standards of 18th and 19th Century French work. Their hand-hammered silvered finish gained their work distinction and they rejected die-stamping and file work as heresy. They made consoles, balustrades, iron gates, balcony railings and various models of lighting. Their chandeliers, torcheres, and sconces were constructed in wrought iron and often housed opalescent glass shades or panels. Nics Freres participated in the 1914 Salon of the Societe des Artistes Francais.
In 1925 they were commissioned to create the wrought-iron furnishings for a hairdressing salon by renowned Art Deco designer Jacques-Emile Ruhlman.
There is also a double pedestal version of this console, see #1892. - More Information
