Summary
| Description |
"Tibittant" desk by Èmile-Jacques Ruhlmann, on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Ruhlmann (1879-1933) was a French furniture and interior designer who epitomized the French Art Deco style in the 1920s. This 1923 fall-leaf desk has a core of plywood with oak, poplar, mahogany, and Macassar ebony veneers inside and out. It has ivory inlays, feet, and knobs, silk tassels, a leather interior writing surface, and aluminum leaf and silver gilding. This desk was immediately acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art upon its completion. It proved immensely influential in the United States. W. & J. Sloane, a New York City luxury furniture and carpet firm, was so impressed by it that in 1925 it formed a subsidiary, the Company of Master Craftsmen, to build similar luxe items.
