Our Collection

A unique collector's piece for connoisseurs and enthusiasts of industrial and Space Age lighting. A genuine globe from the street furniture of the city of Paris, this characterful table lamp combines a chromed metal tulip-style base, emblematic of the 1970s, with a Holophane glass globe. The globe is remarkable for its complex prismatic moulded glass pattern, in grid and ribbed motifs, typical of the historic urban lighting of Paris.

This textured glass is not merely aesthetic; it is designed for optimal light diffraction, creating a soft yet shimmering ambience.

A true luminous sculpture, at the crossroads of industrial design and Modernism.

Some traces of age on the glass.

A pair of Satsuma vases with ovoid body and flared trumpet neck on a ring foot. Cream crackle-glazed stoneware, overglaze polychrome enamels and moriage, with gilt highlights.

Decoration organised in superimposed registers: principal faces animated with scenes of scholars and dignitaries in court robes within wooded gardens, the treatment of the faces of a quality superior to standard production. Associated symbolic motifs — peonies, chrysanthemums, pomegranates, pines — complemented by cartouches of lakeside landscapes on the shoulder and geometric brocade friezes as framing.

Handles in the round formed of dragons  enamelled turquoise holding gilt rings.

Floral neck decoration in moriage enamels. Pair in perfect match.

Double red square cachet beneath both bases.

Very good display condition.

An elegant hexagonal porcelain vase with 'Blue and White' decoration, dating from the late Meiji period (circa 1890-1910).

This vase presents a rich, balanced naturalistic decoration depicting peonies in full bloom — symbol of prosperity and nobility — together with butterflies, treated with great graphic finesse. The drawing is distinguished by a lively line and gradations of deep cobalt blue characteristic of Japanese productions from the Seto region intended for export.

The upper and lower registers are emphasised by intricate friezes of foliate scrolls and stylised lotus flowers, bringing classical structure and great elegance to the whole.

The hexagonal form, rarer and more sought after than classical cylindrical shapes, offers interesting interplays of light on the facets, making it an ideal decorative object for a contemporary setting or a high-quality lamp mounting.

Fine general condition.

An elegant Italian mirror from the mid-18th century, in carved wood gilded with gold leaf.

The frame is adorned with a twisted moulding with oblique gadroons.

Openwork pediment with naturalistic decoration centred on a grape cluster in high relief, flanked by vine leaves with incised veins and sinuous asymmetrical tendrils, a Bacchic motif characteristic of Italian workshops of the mid-18th century.

The openwork lateral uprights are punctuated with water-leaves and terminate in scrolled bosses.

The base is composed of scrolled motifs with carved rosettes. Original mercury glass plate with foxing.

Old gilding largely preserved, revealing the red bole, natural patina.

Italy, 18th century

A remarkable lamp  in hammered and patinated wrought iron, in the Neo-Baroque floral style, Dutch production of the first half of the 20th century (circa 1930-1940).

This piece of wrought-iron art testifies to a rare technical mastery, combining two distinct skills: a central shaft in hand-worked wrought iron, and decorative elements in cast iron of great executional finesse.

The richly developed decoration composes an ascending vegetal bouquet articulated around acanthus leaves and naturalistic flowers — daisies and anemones — whose ribbed centres reveal a care for detail characteristic of bespoke workshops.

The trapezoidal fabric lampshade rests on its original iron mount. The damaged period parchment has been replaced with a copper/amber fabric in keeping with Dutch interiors of this period. Electrical system overhauled and functional.

A large vase in blown and cut crystal, signed and dated beneath the base 'Boda 1947'. A piece from the Boda Glasbruk manufactory (Sweden), predating the Erik Höglund period and the merger of the manufactories that gave rise to Kosta Boda AB in 1976.

The vase presents a slender form with thick walls, structured by six vertical ribs cut into the mass of the crystal, creating a remarkable optical effect of an inner cylinder suspended within the material.

Colourless crystal of exceptional purity and clarity, of significant weight attesting to the high lead content characteristic of quality productions of this period. In 1947, Boda Glasbruk was still an independent manufactory, producing pieces  in the great glassmaking tradition of Småland.

This pre-Höglund period is little documented and signed and dated pieces from it are rare. The formal vocabulary of this vase — architectural rigour, interplay of mass and transparency, geometric treatment of surfaces — fits squarely within the nascent Nordic Modernism of the post-Second World War era.

Good general condition for a piece of this age. A small chip on the base may be noted, as well as two minuscule nicks on one of the ridges, with no impact on the overall aesthetic legibility.

Engraved with the point beneath the base: Boda 1947

A handsome coffee table designed by Mario Marenco for Mobilgirgi, Italy, 1970s.

Executed in solid oak, this table is distinguished by its four characteristic legs composed of rounded slats that rise above the top — an immediately recognisable signature of Mario Marenco's design.

The top rests between the legs in a perfect balance between robustness and lightness. The texture of the oak, the knots in the wood and the carefully rounded edges testify to a high quality of manufacture.

Very good general condition, patina of use consistent with the age of the piece.

Italy, 1970s.
