An elegant Art Deco dressing table in rosewood, surmounted by a round mirror. It opens with a small drawer in the frieze. The asymmetrical base consists of two uprights joined by a metal stretcher. Stamped "AD". Attributed to Maison Dominique, André Domin & Marcel Genevrière. Very good original condition. Founded in 1922 by André Domin (1883-1962) and Marcel Genevrière (1885-1967), Maison Dominique became famous for its avant-garde furniture with geometric forms, highlighting the Cubist influence, enriched by a simple and elegant design. Maison Dominique participated in numerous exhibitions, notably the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, where the firm furnished the small sitting room of the private apartments of a French Embassy. In 1926, she formed the "Group of Five" with J. Puiforcat, P. Chareau, P. Legrain, and the jeweler R. Templier, exhibiting and collaborating regularly. Seven years later, the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique commissioned the creation of one of the four luxury apartments on its ocean liner Normandie: the "Rouen" suite, named after Genevrière's birthplace. After the war, the Mobilier National (National Furniture Collection) also placed orders with them, notably for the Élysée Palace. Following André Domin's departure in 1953, the firm continued its operations until 1970 under the direction of Alain Domin, the founder's son.
