Set of 6 chairs created in 1947 in the manner of Maxime Old , built with solid oak , its style finds its roots before WW2 but become dominant between 1945 and 1955. Rene Gabriel who was also a member of the UAM ( union des artist modernes ) with Charlotte Perriand and Prouve stood apart from classical approach of the Art Deco movement. This set was found in Le Havre which was a hot bed of creation for Gabriel and Old during the reconstruction after the war damage ( 1947-1962) .
