Armand-Albert Rateau was born in Paris in 1882. He trained at the prestigious École Boulle in Paris, excelling as an architect, interior decorator, and furniture designer.
"The name Art Deco was assigned in the 1960s, at the exhibition "Les Années 25" held in Paris at the Museum of Decorative Arts.
