注意事项
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot.

The present chair was originally part of the private collection of Louis Moret. Moret had been given Chareau's name by the architect Alberto Sartoris as he planned to study architecture and hoped to find a mentor. Moret contacted Chareau to see if he would accept him as a student, but Chareau declined at first. It was only after Moret presented him with a drawing of the hotel room he was staying at, including its furnishings, that he was finally accepted. Moret was to remain the only student Pierre Chareau ever had. He met with Chareau twice a week for one year, and eventually settled in Switzerland where he continued an ongoing relationship with the architect. He oversaw the execution, promotion and retailing of Chareau's furniture in Switzerland and today the Moret Foundation in Martigny, Switzerland, preserves many of Chareau's furniture drawings.
