Original Description
Step into the golden glamour of Parisian nightlife with Pierre de Belay's Chez Maxim's - Le Salon Particulier, a masterful evocation of 1920s Montmartre bohemia. Painted circa 1927-28 during de Belay's Japonisme-inspired period, this oil on canvas captures Maxim's legendary private dining room through dynamic diagonals and Degas-esque cropping. The composition thrums with Art Deco energy - slivers of gilded moldings frame champagne flutes clinking beneath Lalique-style lighting, while flattened perspectives nod to Toulouse-Lautrec's poster aesthetics. As one of the few surviving visual records of Maxim's pre-war intimacy (destroyed in 1933 renovations), this work occupies particular significance in documenting Paris' café-concert culture. De Belay's distinctive blend of Post-Impressionist brushwork and Ukiyo-e compositional daring renders the scene both vibrantly immediate and deliciously illicit, preserving the spirit of Paris' années folles when artists and aristocrats rubbed shoulders in velvet banquettes.
For contemporary spaces, this 81x100cm masterpiece commands attention best in dining areas or executive offices where its champagne palette can sparkle against navy velvet or matte black walls. The painting's inherent glamour pairs exquisitely with polished brass fixtures, herringbone wood floors, and sculptural furnishings by Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann. Consider positioning it where raking light enhances its metallic accents - perhaps above a credenza displaying Baccarat crystalware or beside an Eileen Gray side table. Its sophisticated gold-and-ivory tones create natural harmony with Carrara marble surfaces, while the energetic brushstrokes prevent traditional interiors from feeling staid. In modern minimalist spaces, the artwork's lavish detailing provides a thrilling counterpoint when displayed alongside clean-lined furniture, its historical opulence balanced by contemporary restraint. Daylight reveals the painting's nuanced impasto, while evening spotlighting transforms it into a glowing portal to Jazz Age decadence.
