Paul Dumas
Paul Dumas was a Parisian designer and manufacturer of wallpapers and textiles active between 1906 and 1978.
Dumas had a studio at 24-26 Rue Notre Dame des Victoires in Paris, and a printing factory in Montreuil-sur-bois, to the east of Paris.[1][2] Dumas purchased a disused printing factory in Montreuil-sur-bois in 1906, and then built a larger factory on its land in 1913.[3][4] The factory burned down in 1913, and Dumas had a new one built the same year.[4]
Dumas was a designer of scenery and draperies for the fancy-dress balls held by Paul Poiret.[1] The Montreuil-sur-bois factory produced wallpapers for Poiret's Atelier Martine, Paul Follot, Lina de Andrada, and Lucie Renudaut, among others.[5]
Textiles produced by Paul Dumas are included in the collection of the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum.[6] Wallpapers produced by Dumas in included in the collections of the Musée des arts décoratifs de Paris[7] and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London[8] and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[9]
