This model was presented at the Salon d'Été of the Grand Palais in 1902 by Maison Barbedienne. Partly reproduced in the review Art et Décoration the same year in an article entitled "A dining room" where one can read among other things: "Our readers will love as much as we do, we are sure of it, the concern for beautiful and harmonious simplicity which dominates there. The absence of drought and also the absence of unnecessary complications that can be seen there. The strict appropriation of forms to the necessities of which the designer of these pieces of furniture seems to have made himself a law here, quite appropriately ”.
