A quiet day around here ...so I will indulge myself some more.
Here is something that came up for auction a couple of years ago ....the base is French in the
Louis XIV style (which along with the
Régence is my favourite French furniture period) the intricate marble-inlay top is Italian and is absolutely exquisite ...this is a truly splendid object for a very serious collector.
Some very fine porcelain plates made by Sèvres -- the best French porcelain maker.
I really liked these ...they are French obviously, Charles X. 16th-17th century,.
These are really beautiful ...they are Dutch tulip vases, 18TH or 19TH Century.
And three much more modern things to share.
A really great vase from the 1930's designed by Maurice Paul Chevallier.
A fantastic Art Deco light from the 1920's designed by Edgar Brandt.
Staying with the snake theme, a light designed in the early 1980's by the well known architect Frank O. Gehry.
