Dressing room tables

We currently have in production a pair of very extravagant dressing room tables: one for him in ebony and silvered shagreen and one for her in pink ivory and gilded shagreen. The technique of silvering and gilding shagreen has been developed in our workshop and Yannick Chastang is pleased to have its exclusivity. The technique uses mineral gold or silver which is applied between the white pearls of the shagreen, imparting a wonderfully glamorous shine to the already very precious shagreen material. These two tables, of which one is shown below, are nearing completion. They are pictured without their drawer handle and without the top compartment and mirror which could still be designed to personal preference. We invite you to contact us if you are interested in these tables or anything similar. Gilded shagreen can be used in many different applications and could be used to enhance any piece of furniture a client may wish to have made.

Furniture by Armand-Albert Rateau

We have started reproduction of some of the furniture created for the apartment of Jeanne Lanvin, the famous French fashion designer, in 1920-22 by Armand-Albert Rateau and which are now exhibited in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Although auctions in recent years highlight pieces by Rateau as some of the most desirable and expensive pieces of Art Deco furniture ever made, other versions by Rateau are extremely rare and are often preserved in the world’s major museums. Reproduction represents a feasible and relatively cost-effective method of owning a piece of great 1920s design. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more details, regarding this gilded bronze commode and patinated bronze console table or indeed any other piece by Rateau or other designers that you may want to have reproduced.
