This decorative Art Deco railing came from the world-renowned Bon Marché department store in the heart of Paris. The design epitomizes the period in which they were created. The very essence of Art Deco design lies in the concept that art was not confined to the fine arts, but that it could also be applied to functional objects such as furnishings. These rail sections truly exude a sense of unparalleled beauty created by the fusion of great design and supreme craftsmanship. Edgar Brandt was considered one of the most skilled ironworkers in modern history.
