Robert Brigadier

Robert Brigadier was a designer or draftsman active during a highly concentrated period between 1935 and 1936. His documented work focuses predominantly on the detailed study and representation of early American functional objects and decorative arts.

The artist is recognized for contributing to a specialized body of work titled 10 index of american designs. Specific documented items, which often exist as preparatory studies or detailed renderings, include Candle Stand, Pewter Coffee Pot, Table, Armchair, and Chest. These pieces demonstrate a focus on traditional furniture and metalwork.

Representative works, which offer high-quality documentation of historical crafts, are preserved in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art. While the period of his professional activity was limited, the preservation of these technical studies means that research materials and Robert Brigadier prints are sometimes available within the public domain, offering museum-quality records of American design history.
