Pierre Lardin was a specialist in fine hand decorated mirror work and furniture as well as wallpaper prints, and jewelry. Lardin, along with his contemporaries Arbus, Adnet, Poillerat, and Lelue, were producing privately commissioned handcrafted pieces during the 1940's which resulted in a modern Neoclassicism. During the 1940's the styles varied and moved away from the geometric and cubist inspired designs of the great French masters like Ruhlmann, and tended to have more decorative qualities borrowed from Empire, Directoire, and neoclassical designs. Some of Lardin's commissioned work can be seen at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. This item is located in NYC area.
