Rare fire screen with ombelles made by Andre. This screen you can put before a radiator or in front of a fireplace. Or besides a small desk. It can go almost anywhere. A real beauty. Émile André, né le 22 août 1871 à Nancy et mort le 10 mars 1933 dans cette même ville, est un architecte français et un artisan. Il a étudié l'architecture à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Nancy . Il s'installe à Nancy en 1902.
Il a d'abord travaillé dans l'atelier de son père, Charles André, également architecte, puis avec Eugène Vallin avec qui il a développé les principes de l'Art nouveau.
Professeur en arts appliqués et en architecture et membre du comité directeur de l’École de Nancy, il participe au nouvel urbanisme de la ville dès 1901. Il est considéré comme l'un des principaux architectes de la ville : on lui doit plus d’une douzaine de bâtiments à Nancy

Architect
Renauld Bank, 1908, rue Saint-Jean Bed room, circa 1902, Musée de l'Ecole de Nancy Study for the Magasin Vaxelaire, Musée de l'Ecole de Nancy Fernbach House, 1903, Parc de Saurupt, 5, rue des Brice Huot House, 1903, 92-92 bis, quai Claude le Lorrain

Born into a family of businessmen and architects, Emile André studied architecture at the Paris Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He traveled to the Indies, Persia, and Tunisia and accompanied, on two separate occasions, an archeology team in Egypt. Called back to Nancy in 1901 by his father, Charles André, the departmental architect, André worked on important projects in which his first task was the renovations of the magasins Vaxelaire on rue Saint-Jean.

The same year, he and the architect Henry Gutton were in charge of drawing up the estate blueprints of Saurupt Park in which, in 1902, André designed the cartetaker’s house, Villa Les Glycines, and Villa Les Roches.

His numerous and diverse productions (houses, villas, buildings, businesses) are marked more by the study of plastic volumes than by decoration itself. The mastered implementation of numerous materials, in addition to the invention of new decorative forms mostly inspired by the gothic style, gave his buildings a singular and picturesque character. After WWI, he attends to the reconstruction of the destroyed Lorrain villages Flirey and Limey.

Some of his work still visible in Nancy include the Huot houses 92-92 bis quai Claude Le Lorrain (1903), the Lombard and France-Lanord buildings at 69 and 71 avenue Foch (1902-1904), the Renault Bank (currently B.N.P-Paribas) on rue Saint-Jean (1908).

Emile André was a member of the Ecole de Nancy Board of Management since 1901.
