Serge Roche

Patrick Mauries, Serge Roche, Paris, 2006, pp. 9, 35-37 and 158

Overall in very good condition. The plaster portion of the feet with surface scratches, nicks, dings and abrasions as seen in the catalogue illustration. The few with discoloration consistent with age and use. With some minor losses and rubbing to the finish concentrated primarily to the high points of the design. The mirrored glass elements all appear original and undisturbed and with original hardware. The upholstery is later and with some minor surface dirt from use. A wonderful example of the Roche's work displaying his signature aesthetic in good condition.
