Jules Leleu (1883-1961) was a prominent figure in the Art Deco movement, celebrated for his masterful use of luxurious materials and impeccable craftsmanship. He initially worked in his family’s painting business before transitioning to furniture design, where he gained acclaim for his neotraditional styles and later, his modernist aesthetics. Leleu's designs graced prestigious venues, including French embassies and royal residences, and he received numerous accolades, including the grand prize at the 1925 Exposition Industrielle et Arts Decoratifs.
