French decorator and designer, Batistin Spade, was born in Marseilles. He studied there at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
In 1908 he settled in Paris where he continued to study drawing, painting and sculpture – and in 1910 he became a decorator. He opened an atelier for the fabrication of his own designs. His furniture designs were inspired by classic forms and characterized by refinement and luxury.
His work included private installations in Paris and Provence; apartments, villas, and castles. Abroad, he did projects in Belgium, Switzerland, North and South America.
Spade’s work ranged from designs for banks, insurance companies, and shipping-line offices to commissions from the government for offices of government officials and ambassadors. He also worked on thirty oceanliners for the Transatlantic General Compnies, Mixed Navigation, Pack and for the General Society of Maritime Transport and so on.
