Rare and Early Art Deco shagreen black lacquered giltwood stool Attributed Pierre Legrain
Rare and early Art Deco shagreen black lacquered giltwood stool in the Africanist style attributed Pierre Legrain. Similar model located at the Virginia Museum of fine Arts and Brooklyn Museum.France: circa 1925 Provenance: former private collection Elaine Vinci Leoni-Corradini Pierre Legrain was introduced to bookbinding when Jacques Doucet, couturier and great art collector, took the young artist under his wing as an employee and assigned him the task of binding his collection of books. Pierre Legrain then sets up his workshop in the patron's apartments Jacques Doucet wishes to harmonize the decoration of his apartment with his art collections, and this is how the collaboration with Pierre Legrain was oriented towards the creation of exceptional furniture that mixes influences of cubism and a African art particularly prized by the couturier. Jacques Doucet's apartment is conceived as a real staging, a setting that is itself a work of art. In this period of the early 20s, Pierre Legrain met Jeanne Tachard, friend of Jacques Doucet, whose collection of African art inspired the creator. She will, following Jacques Doucet, ask Pierre Legrain for the total development of his villa in the manner, also, of a total work of art, spaces, furniture, objects, lighting and garden which will become emblematic. literature:literature: Art Deco Furniture, Duncan, pg. 133, no. 144

Rare engraved and acid-etched, patinated and polychromed bronze, pewter and enamel "Eternal Forest" Coffee table by Philip & Kelvin Laverne
Rare engraved and acid-etched, patinated and polychromed bronze, pewter and enamel "Eternal Forest" Coffee table by Philip & Kelvin Laverne . The beautiful decorated and patinated top is resting on a four sided concave patinated brass plinth base. Etched signature to top "Philip + Kelvin Laverne". USA : circa 1960 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.
