Art Deco originated in France in the mid to late 1910's and came to maturation during the Exposition Internationale des Arts held in Paris in 1925 and developed into a major style in Europe & US during the 1930's.  The activity of the manufactory revolved around international exhibitions such as the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in 1925, and the Exhibition International des Arts et des Techniques in 1937.  In 1927, Georges Lechevallier-Chevignard, director from 1920 to 1938, obtained financial autonomy for the manufactory while the museum was joined to the Musee de Louvre in 1934.
