JEAN DUNAND. BED

Bed. Artist: Jean Dunand (French (born Switzerland), Lancy 1877-1942 Paris). Dimensions: 39 3/8 × 71 1/8 × 84 1/4 in. (100 × 180.7 × 214 cm). Date: ca. 1927-28. Although most Art Deco patrons were French, one of the era's most complete, important residential design projects was realized in America: a penthouse apartment in San Francisco designed for Templeton Crocker (1884-1948), the millionaire grandson of the founder of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Completed in 1928, the apartment contained a master bedroom, dining room, and breakfast room by Dunand; the noted French designers Jean-Michel Frank, Pierre Legrain, and Madame Lipska created the other rooms. The apartment was dismantled and sold in 1959. The "sponged" surface of Dunand's master-bedroom furniture is characteristic of lacque arraché, a technique in which a final coat of lacquer (here, metallic gray) is applied over a roughened layer (black). By polishing the entire surface, the raised peaks of the black lacquer were revealed, creating a mottled yet smooth effect.
