Provenance
Model realized for the new annex of the Magasins Le Bon Marché in 1924. This model of suspension was arranged in the great hall.“The new annex of Les Magasins du Bon Marché, located at the corner of Rue de Sèvres and Rue du Bac, is specifically designed to showcase collections of antique and modern furniture, as well as everything related to interior design and decoration. (...) The sales galleries on every floor are decorated with great simplicity: oak-paneled pillars covered with mirrors, a gray ceiling adorned with gilded stucco motifs, and lighting provided by “Holophane” glass shades with chiseled bronze frames.”
