*Louis Majorelle (1859-1926)
After studying with Théodore Devilly and Charles Pêtre at the Nancy Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Louis Majorelle was admitted to the Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1877 in the studio of painter Aimé Millet. Two years later, the death of his father forced him to return to Nancy. With his brother Jules, he took over the family furniture and earthenware business. In 1894, after a period of historically inspired production, Louis Majorelle replaced the varnished or painted decor of Rococo and Japanese furniture with inlaid decor featuring naturalist and symbolist references. Metalwork was developed in his workshops for the bronzes used to decorate furniture, as well as for lighting fixtures in collaboration with Daum from 1898 onwards. He had his ceramics published in various workshops in the Lorraine region and designed stoneware objects for Alphonse Cytère (Rambervillers) and the Mougin brothers. His many activities led him to open a number of showrooms, notably in Paris, Lyon and Lille. In 1901, he was one of the vice-presidents of the Ecole de Nancy.
