The modern design offering of nearly 100 lots for April 23rd follows a wildly successful March auction in which a pair of Gio Ponti commodes realized $40,000.

The success of a collection of Paul Evans pieces in last month’s sale also helped the auction house secure additional pieces by Paul Evans from a local estate, including a large Cityscape Dining Table that will be sold at an estimate of $4,000/$6,000 this Sunday.

The large selection of midcentury modern design will also include a variety of French midcentury and Deco works that have not been exposed to auction as much at the Larchmont, NY gallery.  There will be a set of eight transitional and decorative Guillerme et Chambron dining chairs estimated $1,500/$2,000, a finely sized stamped sideboard attributed to Jules Leleu ($1,000/$1,500), and a custom oak dining table with a top of fine Colette Gueden ceramic tiles ($2,000/$3,000). Of both historical and decorative value is an offering of a set of 6 French / Chinese Art Deco chairs and a desk that came from the Chinese embassy in Paris during the period. The unique style reflects several possible stylistic influences but have a punctuating effect nonetheless.

In more traditional midcentury styles, Danish and American designers are featured in full. There will be a Finn Juhl lounge chair with Jack Lenor Larsen upholstered cushions ($800/$1,000), a large pair of tambour front Sibast Mobler cabinets ($1,000/$1,500), a pair of suede and rosewood paneled sofas by Selig ($1,000/$1,500), and more.

The American designs include a rare trisymmetric steel table with glass top by Vladimir Kagan ($5,000/$7,000), a number of Eero Saarinen Tulip table and chair lots for Knoll, a number of Eames for Herman Miller shell and wire chairs, a Harry Bertoia Bench ($1,000/$1,500), a Philip and Kelvin Laverne coffee table with classical figures ($1,000/$1,500), several lots of Paul McCobb for Planner Group, a fine George Nelson for Herman Miller Thin Edge Chest ($1,000/$1,500), an early Isamu Noguchi Horn Lamp ($1,500/$2,500), and a set of 10 John Keal for Brown Saltman open armchairs ($3,000/$4,000).

Other unique items will also be shown and brought to market on Sunday, April 23rd. One item showing considerable pre-sale interest is a symmetrical geometric iron sculpture that was purchased from the Georg Jensen Showroom in New York City in the mid-1960s. The conservative estimate of $400/$600 indicated the ready-to-sell attitude of the consignor, but moreover offers an opportunity to set a market price for a previously unseen item.
