Rare and important Cerused Oak Buffet by Andre Arbus
Rare and important cerused oak buffet by Andre Arbus , the front fitted with three doors inset with gilt lacquered panels and large cast bronze cabochon door pulls. The 1939 New York World's Fair opened at the same time as World War II was beginning in Europe, and the United States was celebrating the 150th anniversary of the election of the first president of the United States, George Washington. Arbus was commissioned by architects Roger H. Expert and Pierre Patout to furnish the French pavilion. Alongside Arbus showing his furniture , several other artisans were commissioned to decorate and represent France's workmanship in decorative arts, theatre, beaux arts, folklore and fashion for which Janne Lanvin was chosen. Arbus presented a manifesto piece of furniture, a large sycamore sideboard with three gild and lacquered doors and a panel on the apron bearing the date "1939" in Roman numerals: MCMXXXIX. It was a monumental architectural piece of furniture, a very strong modern in design , in the cubist style which was a departure from his more "classic" delicate designs , clearly outlining thick relief mouldings balanced by the sophistication of gilt panels. Following the exhibition, he produced a version of this piece of furniture for a private commission, in limed oak instead of lacquered sycamore, accompanied by a table with an overhanging top containing a bar in the base. The buffet we are offering is the one that was commissioned for a private collection after the 1939 New York World's Fair . Provenance: Galerie Yves Gastou, Paris | Acquired from the previous c. 1995 by the present owner . European Private Collection. Literature: André Arbus: Architecte-décorateur des années 40, Brunhammer, ppg. 164-168 Les décorateurs des années 40, Foucart and Gailleman, pg. 26.

Hammered Nickel Plated Copper Mirror by Angelo Bragalini
Hammered Nickel Plated Copper Mirror by Angelo Bragalini. A sculptural wall mirror that embodies the expressive metalwork of 1960s Italian design, this piece is framed in hand-hammered copper … this piece is framed in hand-hammered copper finished with a nickel plating, creating a rich interplay between warm undertones silvery highlights. The surface is deeply textured, almost lunar in appearance, with a tactile, organic relief that reflects light unevenly and gives the frame a dynamic, living quality.The softly rounded rectangular form enhances its presence, with gently undulating edges that feel both intentional and spontaneous—hallmarks of Bragalini’s artisanal approach. Rooted in the Brutalist sensibility yet refined through Italian craftsmanship, Bragalini’s mirrors are known for their use of hammered copper and metalworking techniques

Rare and Early Art Deco shagreen black lacquered giltwood stool Attributed Pierre Legrain
Rare and early Art Deco shagreen black lacquered giltwood stool "tabouret" in the Africanist style attributed to Pierre Legrain. France: circa 1925. Similar examples are featured in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts as well as in the Brooklyn Museum ( see reference photos). Provenance: Private collection USA, Galerie Yvonne Benda Zurich, William Bowman Milan, Eliane Vincileoni-Corradini Milan. The stool is accompanied by its custom crate showing various labels including a label inscribed "Yvonne Benda - St- Germain". Pierre Legrain was introduced to bookbinding when Jacques Doucet, couturier and great art collector, took the young artist under his wing as an employee and assigned him the task of binding his collection of books. Pierre Legrain then set up his workshop in the patron's apartments and worked with Jacques Doucet to harmonize the decoration of his apartment with his art collection. This collaboration with Pierre Legrain initiated the creation of exceptional furniture mixing the influences of cubism and a African art, particularly prized by Doucet. At the same period, Pierre Legrain met Jeanne Tachard, a friend of Jacques Doucet, whose collection of African art inspired Legrain. She commissioned Pierre Legrain to create the furniture to decorate her Villa at La Celle-St-Cloud. Literature: Art Deco Furniture, Duncan, pg. 133, no. 144.
