Very dramatic and comfortable pair of French style club chairs. The fabric is an open natural honey colored fabric. All the edges are completed with individual nails to accentuate the shape and style of the frame. Nicely done. I've never seen much of this kind of wood before, It is called "palisandro de rio" In any event, enough about the wood, it is really about the chairs. Take a good look and please ask any questions.

A wonderful pair of art deco chairs, suited for many places in your home. This classic shape with dark wood frame and accented inlays stands out beautifully against the wonderful cream patterned tone on tone stylized leaf pattern fabric. These fabrics are so great and we do not find them often. Each chair also comes with its own custom kidney pillow for added comfort. Nice size that will fit in most any room.

Here we go, a long story but worth all the effort. We are presenting one of the finest Art Deco sterling 800 flatware services you might ever have the chance to buy. Certainly a family heirloom for the right family! The set has it origins in Italy circa 1930's and found its way (with many other beautiful objects) to the wonderful country of Uruguay. I can not tell you what boat brought it over there, but look at the photos and you can see why someone might go through the effort. Each piece is stamped with the makers mark and #800 sterling, the design is made up of wonderful faceted handles (both front and back) and the opulent style of what I would refer to as very refined moderne art deco design. More of that later, first here is what makes up this 160 pieces set.

This is truly a magnificent set, more rare then anything you might find today at any of the finest home-wares shop, think of it is "jewelry" for your home! The last set we had of this quality (2 years ago), lasted about one week. I do not find these often so I do not buy these often, only when the design and price makes it reasonable for you and for me. Only serious enquires.

This is a stunning design. Works for either coffee service, tea service, steamed milk or whatever you want. Wonderful metalwork, very clean all around with the most unusual twisted or pretzel metal treatment. Reminds of a wonderful design by the French artist Puiforcat, but these pieces were found in Argentina so it is most likely a design inspired by the great French firm. The pieces are in remarkable condition, very clean and ready to be put to use. A kind of unusual set up, since all pieces have tops. A wonderful and striking suite of serviceable pieces and very nice quality!

A wonderful and very large original bronze by A. P. Hugonnet. Obviously depicting the classic javelin thrower. This is very well designed and quite an intense figure. Look at his face, look at his hands, lots of details. You know so many of these classic athletic poses were inspired by the 1924 Paris Olympics which served as a great breeding ground to influence the designs by many artists of these stylized male statues during this time. Our man here may have been fashioned after one of the great javelin athletes competing in Paris during 1924. Unfortunatley the original base was broken, but we were able to make a replica of the original (with two pieces in a stepped affect) and used a piece of back marble with his original signature, taken from the original base. As you can see, some time was spent to artistically inlay this into the new base. It is stamped "bronze" on the figure and is a very impressive piece.

It is always a treat to find something special like this. Not our typical art deco point of view, but I love to show this transition between Art Nouveau to Art Deco. WMF a German silver company was probably one of the best at doing this. They were so active during both of these periods and when you look at their pieces you can see the decorative design periods in the most obvious and refined way. What is also nice about this piece, it is in perfect original condition. The glass (crystal) is perfect on each piece, not a chip. I assume it was never used, probably a wedding gift that got tucked away somewhere. Also, very nice, we have the original advertisement from the WMF catalogue book. Silver holder, 3 glass pieces for oil, vinegar, salt and?????? Would look smart on any table setting or buffet, both in Art Deco style and earlier.

A wonderful small pair of newly upholstered art deco club chairs. Perfect for almost any location. Lots of nice details. First, a wonderful cream diamond motif fabric (wish I had more of this). The wood is a highly polished oak frame (grained filled) and it feels very smooth. Also nice details of nail heads which outline both the outside and inside wood frame and arms. Comfortable and ready to go. Hard to find a smaller pair of chairs as luxurious as these. Small foot print.

This is a fabulous bronze, so rich in detail, design and beauty. Maybe one of the finest examples of bronze art we ever offered. The name is "La Danseuse de Thebes" circa 1925 and this rather sexy woman is portrayed with all the trappings of an art deco Theban dancer (or Egyptian Dancer). There is even a bronze hieroglyphics on the front of the piece, maybe heavily influenced by the discovery of Tutankhamun circa 1922. I think I might have known this woman in another life time ( which goes with the Egyptian mythology anyhow). The piece was executed by Claire Jeanne Roberte Godchaux Colinet, listed in Benzoit, an extraordinary piece so please take a moment to look at the details of the folds in the dress, the necklace and hand beading throughout. It is also just as remarkable from the front as from the back. The dress has a faint cold painted gold gilt with stands away from the nickeled bronze beauty of her body. This piece will certainly takes your breath away. This piece previously sold at Christies in January 2008 at the time for 7000 GBP which roughly translates to about $13,500 dollars, so keep in mind this is not for the light hearted and light pockets! All information is available on request.

Large French very high quality Bronze figural group of a lady and Borzois dog. The piece is quite impressive, the woman stares out into the world as the dog stares at the woman? The details in the piece are great, very deep bronze work and lots of fine details. Take a special note of the hair, fingers, and the look of love on the dog's face. It has a lovely aged nickeled bronze patina and the base measures 26 inches long and 8 inches deep.The stylised lady sits approx. 15 inches high and it is signed in the bronze on the right hand end - Georges Coste. The condition is excellent and very original with no damage or repairs.

Georges Coste was an early 20th century sculptor, who was born in Romans in the late 19th century. He was a student of Boucher and exhibited figures and busts at Le Salon des Artistes, and was a winner of a third class medal in 1925.

These photos do not do them justice. They just arrived and was in a hurry to get them on-line. Stunning pair of silver-plate candlesticks with black ebony ball. Great contrast between the gleaming silver-plate and the black accent. Nice 3X stepped base with 3 rings around candleholder. This is not a 3 ring circus. Would add a great touch of sophistication to your dinner table, serving piece or mantle.
