André Arbus (1903-1969), a French cabinetmaker and decorator, is renowned for his refined neoclassical style, which blends elegance and tradition. Trained in the Beaux-Arts and rooted in family craftsmanship, he distinguished himself at the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts. Faithful to his French heritage, he worked with noble materials such as sycamore and lacquer, and adorned his pieces with sculpted details inspired by the classical era. Arbus designed furniture that was both sumptuous and functional, bearing the imprint of a tradition revisited with modernity and finesse.
