Perfect condition.

A very fine glazed brown faience vase, of flattened circular form, decorated with a relief depicting a nude female figure in red-orange tones, accompanied by hand-painted enamelled floral motifs.

Typical of Art Nouveau, this elegant decorative piece illustrates the craftsmanship of late 19th-century workshops.

An elegant and large antique pressed-glass vase from the Portieux crystalworks (1705-2012), George Sand model, with a turquoise blue bowl and amber base with ram's-head supports. The George Sand model signed Portieux was pressed around 1900. Founded in 1705, the crystalworks worked over the centuries for the most prestigious tables, for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the writer George Sand, and the Ritz.

A fine pair of 19th-century cachepots in Paris porcelain on a deep green ground, richly adorned with gilt and polychrome floral motifs.

Executed in white ceramic with a matte finish, these two cylindrical vases are animated by a relief decoration evoking irregular, almost organic vertical undulations recalling leaf venation. The work of the material, deliberately irregular and raw, lends the whole a strong decorative character, between craftsmanship and modernity. Italian work of the 1980s.

A large patinated plaster bust — Bacchante with bunches of grapes — Signed (Frans...) — Flanders or Belgium — Early 20th century. Striking and expressive, this large patinated plaster bust depicts a Bacchante, a figure associated with the cult of Dionysus/Bacchus, the head tilted and adorned with bunches of grapes. The sculpture captivates with its scale, its movement, the charm of its dreamy face and the rich treatment of volumes typical of late Art Nouveau productions. Acquired in Belgium, this piece bears a barely legible incised signature in which the first name Frans is however clearly identifiable, pointing to a Belgian or Flemish sculptor active around the early 20th century. Fine patina. Circa 1920.

An original intaglio print by Leonor Fini, hand-signed in pencil by the artist, lower right. A sensual and theatrical scene depicting two nude women in an intimate composition, characteristic of Leonor Fini's dreamlike universe. Impression on fine-quality Japon paper, with a delicate moiré aspect. Well-marked platemark, clean impression, revealing a careful printing. Presented in a black and silvered wood frame, between two glass plates. Very good condition.

A pair of Italian lamps in blown Murano glass dating from the 1980s and brass. The lamp assembly was carried out at a later date. Each lamp is composed of two identical spheres in smoked gilt Murano glass, mouth-blown in a structured mould, revealing a deep and regular geometric relief. The two elements are separated by a darker-coloured Murano glass disc, which underlines the architecture of the whole. The base and structure are in gilt brass. New electrical assembly.

An elegant pastel on paper depicting Leda and the Swan, inspired by the antique myth in which Zeus takes the form of a swan to seduce Leda. The subject is treated here with great gentleness and a Romantic sensibility typical of the early decades of the 19th century. The delicate modelling of the face, the subtle palette and the oval format lend this composition an intimate and refined atmosphere. Period 19th-century gilt frame with its original blue paper backing.

An important antique plaster bust with terracotta patina, depicting Mademoiselle Luzy, the celebrated 18th-century actress and emblematic figure of the Comédie-Française. This model is an edition after the original sculpture by Jean-Jacques Caffieri (1725-1792), the great Neoclassical sculptor known for his busts of great literary, theatrical and intellectual figures such as Voltaire, Diderot and Rousseau. The bust bears the stamp of the City of Versailles, attesting to institutional provenance and an early edition of quality. The execution stands out for the quality of the modelling, the precision of the detail of the coiffure and the elegance of the drapery typical of Neoclassical style. Very good general condition. Moulded signature 'JJ Caffieri' on the base. Stamp: City of Versailles on the reverse. Early 20th century.

An original colour print by Leonor Fini, hand-signed in pencil by the artist lower right, accompanied by the handwritten dedication "Pour Serge". An un-numbered work, which is frequent for artist's proofs or personal gifts made by Leonor Fini in the 1960s-70s. This composition depicts two female figures, in a dreamlike, gentle and mysterious atmosphere, characteristic of the artist's symbolic universe. The figures wear turbans in a dreamlike atmosphere. This theme of feminine duality, sisterhood or identity is recurrent in Leonor Fini's work. This impression on vellum paper, dedicated, lends the work an intimate character. Presented in a moulded wood frame under glass with beige mount. Very fine general condition. 20th century.

An elegant pair of pedestal columns in wood, with painted decoration in faux-marble trompe-l'œil. The central shaft imitates a beige-yellow marble with fluid veining, while the bases and upper tops evoke a black marble veined with white. Decorative work executed by hand in the 1970s in the spirit of revisited classical interiors. Perfectly stable and solid. Very good general condition. Weight: 11.500 kg each.

An elegant pair of lamps composed of seated Buddha sculptures in meditation, executed in finely moulded gilt cast iron. The figures display rich decoration with stylised floral motifs and retain a fine early patina. Each statue is mounted on a varnished wooden plinth on which rests an adjustable brass rod, supporting a double light, surmounted by a pagoda-shaped lampshade. The shades are original, their fabric having been restored to recover their full brilliance. The whole combines traditional art with contemporary functionality. Probable origin: Thailand. 20th century.

An elegant round guéridon in painted wood resting on a tripod base richly carved with volutes, beads and stylised shells, enhanced with gilt highlights. The central baluster shaft is adorned with gadroons and pearled motifs, in a Baroque and Rocaille spirit revisited in the 19th century. Later patina. The circular top is in painted wood decorated in faux marble in tones of brown and ochre, a sought-after decorative technique that lends the whole refinement and originality. Good general condition, wear and patina of time.

A luminous bowl in dinanderie of copper and brass with a decoration of fish on a marine ground, the interior lacquered white. Wooden disc at the base. The piece is signed within the decoration Lucien Gerfaux, a French artist active in the 20th century who produced decorative objects, notably vases and lamps in dinanderie (repoussé or inlaid metal, often copper or brass) with motifs often animal or naturalistic. Work representative of the Art Deco style. Circa 1940. Recent electrical work.

A rare set of four profile portraits, painted in black gouache with highlights, on blue-green tinted paper, presented under glass. Two men and two women are depicted, with coiffures and costumes characteristic of late 18th-century and Directoire fashion. More precious than simple cut silhouettes, these painted effigies render with finesse the details of the faces, hair and fabrics. Each portrait is presented within a brown fillet line and united in a single mount. The whole is preserved in a gilt wood frame adorned with carved friezes and palmettes. Good general condition. Wear and patina of time.

A true column of light, this exceptional piece embodies the quintessence of Venetian lagoon craftsmanship of the mid-20th century. The dialogue between the solid crystal and the generous gold-fleck inclusions creates a chromatic vibration of rare intensity, characteristic of the Rugiadoso technique. The architectural silhouette, rhythmed by a succession of eleven gadrooned and tapered sleeves, terminates in a majestic flared top that magnifies the diffusion of light. Its sculptural presence and gilt patina make it a historical milestone of prestigious Italian design.

Gallery advice: This monumental light fixture is the ideal piece for an architect's office project seeking to punctuate a high-ceilinged reception space. For striking contrast, it will integrate perfectly into a Minimalist Chic interior or alongside a Scandinavian rosewood sideboard, where its brilliance will warm the sober lines of Nordic furniture. Its imposing stature also allows its use as a focal point in a Hollywood Regency-style sitting room, bringing a touch of erudition and elegance.

Materials: mouth-blown Murano crystal, internal inclusions of 24-carat fine gold, internal structure and junction rings in gilt brass.

Museum-quality condition; the crystal shows no chips, no cracks and no restoration. Original electrical system serviced and functional.
