Salle à manger, 1903-1906
Eugène Vallin (1856-1922) in collaboration with Victor Prouvé (1858-1943)

This collection was commissioned by Charles Masson for his apartment in the rue Mazagran in Nancy. Vallin created the furniture and the ébéniserie. In 1903, Prouvé provided the moquettes du bûcheron de la ciminée and the vendengeuse du buffet, the panneaux de cuirs for the walls in 1905 and in 1906 he pained the panneaux de toile marouflée on the ceiling on there theme of the five senses. The assembly was moved to Masson’s new apartment in Paris during the first world war. It was recreated in this form in 1961 and slightly modified to fit the dimensions of the present room.
