Louis Sue and Andre Mare were leading designers and decorators of the French Art Deco era. Louis Sue was an architect who travelled with the couturier Paul Poiret to visit the forward-looking Weiner Werkstatte in Vienna, 1910, and subsequently drew up a “manifesto” for creating harmonious interiors with the painter-decorator Andre Mare. As well as designing industrial towns, Sue created the interior of Jean Patou’s home and the perfume and bottles for Patou including the famous “Joy” perfume in 1928. He redesigned Parisian buildings/interiors for Helena Rubinstein and was the architect of the Museum of the Annunication in Saint Tropez.

Andre Mare’s signature motifs were a stylised rose, often in garlands or bouquets, which became an important element in French Art Deco. He collaborated in the design of La Maison Cubiste in 1912. The two business partners established the Compagnie des Arts Francais and other important projects included the Grand Salon of the ocean liner, the Ile-de-France.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French Art Deco clocks from the 1920s and 1930s feature geometric silhouettes, stylized floral motifs, and polished metallic finishes, reflecting modernism combined with traditional metal casting techniques.

These timepieces frequently utilised cast gilt bronze, ormolu, marble, onyx, glass, and mechanical brass clockwork to achieve heavy decorative structures.

Authentic period pieces display crisp casting detail, heavy solid metal construction, period-appropriate mechanical movements, and natural surface patination or subtle wear to the gilding.

Position the timepiece as a central focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble sideboard, or executive desk alongside structured modern ceramics or architectural artwork.

Dust the casing regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid chemical polishes that can strip original gilding, and arrange professional servicing for internal movements every five years.
