From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

The Majorelle family operated a large furniture making business at Nancy in eastern France. There they produced distinguished furniture in the Art Nouveau style. That style is well illustrated in the curvilinear, abstract wood marquetry (an inlaid, veneered pattern) on the doors of this cabinet. Let your eye trace the sinuous lines and leafy forms of this chest. Its design emphasizes the beauty of the wood, celebrating nature. Louis Majorelle designed it in the Art Nouveau style.
