SÜE & MARE
Daybed, c. 1925
Edited by La COMPAGNIE des ARTS FRANÇAIS
State bed, fully finished on all sides, in its original blackened wood. The long sides feature a sculpted decoration of thick drapery and are supported at each end by an upright element, topped with two scrolls—one at the capital and one at the base—adorned with a stylized, sculpted tassel. The headboard and footboard are finished with a rolled design. The mattress and bolster are upholstered in a black speckled DEDAR fabric.
