“Flowers run over all four sides to better conceal the function. The chest of drawers is intended as a piece of sculpture. The bronze flowers are treated like a black and white silkscreen. They’re supposed to be paintings. The chest of drawers is playing hide and seek.”
Hubert Le Gall

For Le Gall, the archetypal personality of flowers are often the starting point of many conceptions, initiated by the ‘Marguerites’ series of tables (lot 105) first developed in 1998. An early fascination for Baroque and for Biedermeier furniture is revealed by the densely-populated bronze mounts and Chinese-red lacquered surfaces that adorn this, the larger of the two cabinets from the Anthemis series.

Christie's would like to thank Atelier Hubert Le Gall for their assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.
