France: circa 1950 Reference: p: 10-11, 86,98,141,147,193 196 for similar models in Dupré Lafon décorateur des millionnaires par Thierry Couvrat Desvergnes Éditions de L'amateur Provenance: Private collection Palm Beach Florida , property designed and decorated by Peter Marino Architect for George Lindemann, see the cabinet in situ in the last photo). Paul Dupré-Lafon trained as an architect but worked primarily as an interior designer. Originally from Marseille, it took him only five years to establish himself in Paris and by the late 1920s he was creating entire interiors for wealthy clientèle including the bankers Dreyfus and Rothschild. He has been described as ‘décorateur des millionaires’ (a designer for the billionaires) (T. Couvrat-Desvergnes, Paul Dupré-Lafon, Décorateur des Millionnaires, Paris, 1990) and for forty years worked as such. He was a reserved man preferring not to show his designs in exhibitions, but instead concentrating all his energy on his projects. His furniture combined the functionality of modernist design with the luxury of art deco. It was critical to Dupré-Lafon that his furniture should not only be works of art but also should serve its users and be practical. Creating impressive forms that communicate a sense of power and grandeur through their simplicity, curves and angles filled him with fascination. The present cabinet illustrates Dupré-Lafon’s skills, uniting function with aesthetic qualities.

ENGLISH NEO-GOTHIC OAK BOOKCASE, CHARLES BARRY AND A.W.N. PUGIN
ENGLISH NEO-GOTHIC OAK BOOKCASE, CHARLES BARRY AND A.W.N. PUGIN The upper section fitted with three shelves, the doors fitted with original brass wire grill , the lower section fitted with one shelf. Provenance: Sold Christie's, London, November 29, 2001, Lot 188. Note: Probably supplied for the Palace of Westminster, but in 1866 recorded at Claremont House, Esher. Conceived in the William IV romantic English manner introduced as the "New Palace of Westminster" style, with the collaboration in the mid1830's of the architects Charles Barry and A.W.N. Pugin. Westminster Palace's fortportcullis badge is displayed in cusped tablets within embattled parapets, which are flowered with the English cinquefoil rose. This bookcase appears to be a precursor for the more florid bookcases designed for the New Palace by Pugin, in the mid 1840's. They may have possibly been intended for the King's Tower, now the Victoria Tower.

18th century Italian Florentine Commode
18th century Northern Italian, probably Florentine, neoclassical commode, incorporating 17th century Florentine mother of pearl, lapis lazuli, stained bone, coral and marquetry panels attributed to Leonard van der Vinne (c. 1630-1713). Known as an intarsiatore (intarsia artist) and cabinetmaker, Flemish master Leonard van der Vinne specialized in inlay techniques, helping to spread the taste for inlaid floral patterns made of exotic wood, ivory, and mother-of-pearl throughout Europe. He moved to Italy to work in the Medici manufactory from 1659 until his death in 1713. His work can be found in the Getty Museum (night clock), the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
