Le développement de l'art déco à Limoges bénéficie dans les années 20 - 30 de l'essor économique et démographique de la ville lié à l'industrie, notamment la porcelaine et la chaussure.

Cet immeuble orthogonale (à angle droit) et sobre puisque l'ornementation se limite à quelques sculptures isolées, est composé de bow-windows (fenêtres qui s'avance sur la façade) surmontées de frontons rectangulaires accompagnées de frises pour alléger. Egalement un balcon en enfilade et un toit terrasse.

This orthogonal building (at right angles) and sober since the ornamentation is limited to a few isolated sculptures, is made up of bow-windows (windows that jut out on the facade) surmounted by rectangular pediments accompanied by friezes to lighten up. Also an adjoining balcony and a roof terrace.
