Majorelle, Louis

(born 1859, Toul, France—died 1926, Nancy) French artist, cabinetmaker, and furniture designer. The son of a cabinetmaker, he was trained as a painter and studied under Jean-François Millet at the École des Beaux-Arts. After his father's death in 1879, he returned home to take charge of the family workshop. He moved from 18th-century reproductions to the developing Art Nouveau style and became one of its leading exponents. In his furniture he incorporated a flowing line into polished woods, highlighted by Art Nouveau bronze mounts.
