L'âge de l'acier / Les Établissements J. Leurin
L'âge de l'acier is a trade catalogue from the Établissements J. Leurin, a French firm, issued around 1900 and aimed at buyers of steel furniture. Its pictures show tubular steel chairs and tables set in interiors, an outdoor café row, a stacked lattice form, and a brand mark with a stylised face. A designer might take from them the thin, bent-tube structure of early steel furniture and its clean, graphic presentation.
