Furniture
A perfect blend of beauty and utility, furniture comes in many forms: armoires, bookcases, buffets and sideboards, desks, cabinets, chairs, armchairs, tables, sofas, stools, nightstands, chests, commodes, consoles and corner pieces, pedestal tables, beds, screens, secretaries and writing desks, display cases. Classic furniture lovers will find in these sales medieval chests, Renaissance cabinets, and 18th-century stamped commodes (by Charles Cressent, Thomas Hache, B.V.R.B, or Jean-Henri Riesener…) or pieces of excellent craftsmanship. Those less fond of Louis XIV style may prefer Régence-era consoles, Louis XV gaming tables, Transition commodes, Louis XVI lady's desks, Directoire daybeds, or Empire tripod pedestal tables. Enthusiasts of “neo” styles will delight in 19th-century Neo-Gothic or Neo-Renaissance furniture, while modernist fans will turn to sleek designer or architect seats by Eileen Gray, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, Knoll, Eames, Pierre Paulin, Perriand, Saarinen, Le Corbusier, Jouve, Starck, and others.
