Leather Clad Gentleman's Cabinet by Jean Pascaud
Art Deco period leather two door cabinet cabinet by Jean Pascaud fitted with a nickel plated bronze handle, the interior fitted with 5 mahogany drawers. France: circa 1932 Property from an Important American Collection Provenance: Galerie Jacques de Vos, Paris. As the 1930s pressed on, and Pascaud’s reputation grew, he exhibited less and less frequently. By the time he secured the Grand Prix at the International Exposition of 1937 he had traded in exhibiting almost entirely for private commissions and comprehensive decorative projects. In 1934 he decorated the Dieppe suite of the ocean liner The Normandy. Next he took on another ocean liner, The Pasteur. In 1937 Pascaud was commissioned to redecorate the offices of the French Ministry of Education. Jean Zay, then Minister of Public Education, was so impressed with Pascaud’s work that he commissioned the designer to redo his offices at the Rochechouart Hotel in Paris. Literature: "Mobilier et Decoration", May 1933, page 171. Similar model sideboard.

Acid Etched Patinated Brass and Pewter "Eternal Forest" Center Table by Philip & Kelvin Laverne
Rare engraved and acid-etched, patinated and polychromed bronze, pewter and enamel"Eternal Forest" table by Philip & Kelvin Laverne signed: "Philip and Kelvin Laverne" USA: circa 1960 Property from a Private Collection. Philip (1907-1987) and Kelvin (b. 1937) LaVerne were a New York-based father and son collaborative duo best known for their use of innovative metalworking techniques to produce custom-made, limited editioned furniture which integrated art and design. Born in New York City, Philip LaVerne studied under Ashcan School painter John Sloan at the Arts Students League of New York. Kelvin LaVerne, also born in New York, pursued metal sculpting and furniture design at the Parsons School of Design and, like his father, studied at the Arts Students League as well. In the late fifties, the two began collaborating, eventually opening a showroom on East 57th Street in Manhattan. Working primarily in pewter and bronze, Philip’s role concentrated on the materials and decorative elements, while Kelvin focused on the overall form and functionality. Combining modern and traditional designs, their subjects centered mostly around historical civilizations, mythology, and chinoiserie, later gravitating towards more abstracted works. Patterns range from the figural, like “Chan”, “Ming” and “Festival” to the abstract, such as “Eternal Forest”, “Viola” and “Etruscan”. Since Philip’s death in 1987, Kelvin has ceased production of their famed Historical Series, however, he still creates pieces under both their names to this day.
