Pierre Patout, 1879-1965

de forme rectangulaire, en bronze enchâssant des panneaux de miroirs

Collection privée

Cette double porte provient de la petite maison adjacente à la maison principale construite et décorée par l'architecte Pierre Patout à Boulogne en 1928 pour le peintre Alfred Lombard.

En 1925, Patout conçoit pour Ruhlmann le Pavillon du Collectionneur présenté à l'Exposition Internationale des Arts Modernes et Industriels. Le peintre, l'architecte et le décorateur participeront ensemble par la suite à l'aménagement de plusieurs paquebots notamment celui du Normandie.

The doors come from the 'Lombard House'  built in 1928 by Pierre Patout for the painter Alfred Lombard in Boulogne, near Paris. Patout had built the 'Pavillon du Collectionneur' for Ruhlmann, shown at the 1925 exhibition. Later, the painter, the architect and the designer collaborated all together for the decoration of ocean liners as the Normandie.
