A LOUIS XVI ARCHITECT TABLE STAMPED BY DENIS LOUIS ANCELLET, LAST QUARTER 18TH CENTURY
From applique and back splats to veneering and wingbacks, an essential glossary of furniture terms
‘Most real collections are self-portraits,’ explains Jonathan Rendell, who has entered incredible homes over his 30 years at Christie’s
According to specialist Stephen Jones, Natalie and Dr Marvin Gliedman collected ‘for the sheer love of it’ — including works by Noguchi, Calder and Diebenkorn
The furniture of the French painter combines ‘creativity with perfection of execution, rigour with imagination’
