AN IMPORTANT MEXICAN SILVER SET, 20TH CENTURY
A rediscovered masterpiece by André-Charles Boulle, the ‘most skilful craftsman of his profession’ under Louis XIV
A 360-degree view of Classic Week, our upcoming series of four auctions in Paris showcasing rare furniture, works of arts and paintings
Using lots from our upcoming Collector sales, the Italian writer and Vogue stylist designs a series of vignettes in London’s most spectacular conservatory
From applique and back splats to veneering and wingbacks, an essential glossary of furniture terms
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’
