His early work was in a Rococo style but as a member of the Nancy School he was influenced by Gallé and adopted Art Nouveau forms, creating an individual, elegant style. He favoured exotic and strongly grained woods, such as mahogany, and often used gilt bronze mounts. Like Gallé's, his decoration was based on sinuous forms and natural motives.
Majorelle had become so successful that he was one of the main producer of Art Nouveau furniture and certainly the most famous.
