Georges Geffroy

French decorator (1903-1971) who became one of the most sought-after figures of Parisian high society in the decades around the Second World War. His interiors revived the refinement of eighteenth-century French taste, combining genuine antiques with furniture he designed in a restrained neoclassical spirit. Pieces attributed to him are rare, and collectors value their exacting proportions and the sense of discreet luxury they bring to a room.
