AUCTION FIND OF THE WEEK MARCH 25TH: ART DECO SIDE CABINETS
by Kelly Keating on 03/26/13
Hello everyone and welcome to Antique Desire the blog for The Antique Flâneur. Auction Find of the Week will be a new weekly post on Antique Desire where I scour the worldwide auction market for interesting and unusual lots to bring to your attention.
This week I found a fabulous pair of red lacquered Chinoiserie style Art Deco side tables with gilt X design on the front face and a gilt border as well, 1930's in date and probably of American manufacture. The pair are being auctioned at Showplace Antique + Design Center in New York City, lot 621, on March 28 with a pre-sale estimate of $600-800.
What a stylish pair for such a great price. There is touch of Chinoiserie, a touch of Art Deco and a trace of Hollywood Regency all combined to make a fab and bold pair. Wouldn't these be amazing as the signature pieces of a living room or bedroom?
What a stylish, chic pair and for such a great price. There is touch of Chinoiserie, a touch of Art Deco and a trace of Hollywood Regency all combined to make a striking and bold pair. Wouldn't these be amazing as the signature pieces of a living room or as bedroom nightstands? As the epic Diana Vreeland said, "Red is the great clarifier - bright, cleansing, revealing. It makes all colors beautiful. I can't imagine being bored with it - it would be like becoming tired of the person you love. I wanted this apartment to be a garden - but it had to be a garden in hell." Don't become bored, bid on these great side tables on March 28th.
