Maurice Dufrêne (1876–1955)

Born in Paris, Dufrêne became one of the worlds finest decorative artists using a variety of different material, including ceramics, metal and glass as well using top quality wood. He took an early interest in antique furniture making by finding off cuts of wood and other materials left over that he found in his fathers supply and made them into art pieces - this really ignited the artist in him.

In 1921 Dufrêne was given the huge honour of leading the Maîtrise workshop. At the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris (where the term Art Deco originated from) he led Maîtrise exhibition and decorated the interior, filling the exhibition with paintings and many stunning decorative items.
