Born in 1902, Jean-Boris Lacroix began his career in 1924 as artistic director of the Vionnet fashion house. During this period, he also designed furniture and lighting, combining glass and metal.
Member of the UAM (Union of Modern Artists), he will contribute to shaping the industrial aesthetic of the post-war period. Keen to take into account the social and technological changes of his time, Lacroix’s aesthetic identity evolved in the 1950s.
He began as a precursor of modernist design, with clean geometric lines. He then continued his experimentation with shapes and materials. Indeed, the designer was among the first to use brightly colored acrylic in the manufacture of lighting.

Please note vintage
period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural

DELIVERY
OR COLLECTION
This item is
available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses RH20-1DF by appointment

Wales and Ireland for a fee
Please contact me
via email, alternatively my contact information is under the business seller
section of the listing, with your postcode for a delivery quotation, as
mentioned above the fee listed covers with the M25 for the UK, for
international deliveries the amount listed covers local Europe only so parts of
Belgium and France
Please be sure to
include which item you would like to buy as the price is determined on size and
distance, if you would like more than one piece of furniture the courier offers
a substantial discount on the second and third item, for international shipping
please view the below information
COURIER,
LARGE ITEMS ONLY THAT CAN’T BE POSTED
We can arrange
delivery nationwide, mostly with our nominated couriers, for Europe we use one
reasonably priced professional company that we trust, for the rest of the world
we use international shippers that can send any size item crated via air
freight within 7-14 days after crating or soft packed and container shipped via
sea freight within 30-60 days. The time frames outlined are guides only, non-domestic
shipping is almost entirely governed by the airlines, sea freight loading times
and custom clearances
Whomever delivers
will always require help on the larger items to unload, the price you will be
quoted will always be based on this assumption, if this is not possible, please
let us know as it will affect the price to send a two-person team
Delivery is to the
ground floor only, again if you need help upstairs or in flats etc that's
absolutely not a problem, the couriers charge £10-£20 per flight per man per
item, if you have a working elevator then naturally there’s no additional fee
All courier fees
are paid by yourself directly to the courier company, the contract for delivery
is between yourselves the client and whichever courier you chose from those
available I’m happy to accommodate your own courier after a cleared payment has
been received, they need to book in a collection time with at least 24 hours
notice, all collections must be made within 14 working days of the close of the
sale unless agreed by prior arrangement
IMPORT
DUTY
Most countries
charge some kind of import duty however almost all of our items won’t incur any
charges as the items are exempt from tax due to the age and materials used
For European
deliveries the price you will be quoted will include all clearance
documentation and any customs charges so there won’t be any additional fees
For international
deliveries such as the United States there can be some import duty to pay and
or a clearance fee, I would estimate that 99% of all deliveries clear customs
without being stopped for either
All duties are the responsibility
of the purchaser who is the importer, they can’t be covered by the seller or
shipping agent or factored in with additional retrospective discounts
RETURNS
Royal House
Antiques offers a no quibble return policy if the item is not as described, if
there are any issues with the piece you will be refunded in full once the item
has been returned and inspected within 14 days, alternatively if there is a
small issue, we can discuss finding a mutual resolution that makes all parties
happy
We don’t offer a
sale on approval service which means you can purchase the item, have it
delivered and if you simply don’t like it, return it, this comes under change
of mind or doesn’t fit. There is a lot of time, money and work involved in
transporting goods around the world, the costs incurred can be vast so my
advice would be if you are unsure on a piece please ask as many questions as
you like to make sure you understand everything before you buy, if you are
still unsure then please either arrange a viewing in person or if that’s not
possible then don’t buy from an online retailer, perhaps look for a local
gallery instead
