Rare Pair of Benches signed Pierre Dariel. They date from 1928 and are photographed and commented on in the magazine Art et Décoration of May 1930. They measure: 158 cm long x 102 cm high and 68 cm deep maximum. Floor-seat height: 48 cm Seat depth: 45 cm Pierre Dariel (1889-1953) was a famous manufacturer of outdoor furniture located rue de Penthièvre in Paris. He was the editor of the first pieces of furniture by Robert Mallet-Stevens. His creations were often used in the fittings of Robert Mallet-Stevens, who also attributed the design of some of them, which could be the case for this pair of cross-bar benches. These benches have been completely disassembled, restored and lacquered white as originally in our cabinetmaking workshops. They carry their brass plaques engraved with the inscription "Pierre Dariel - 45 Rue de Penthièvre - Paris" We also have some original cushions in orange canvas.
