  Pierre Soulages, Eau-Forte XXII, 1973.
  Estimate €20,000–30,000.

  Soulages, what else to create a dramatic and contemporary room? This beautiful eau-forte of great scale is absolutely stunning. It is the largest dimension for a print and has a very strong presence.

  Christofle & Cie, Pitcher and Beaker, circa 1880.
  Estimate €3,000–4,000.

  Polychrome metal and silver-plated objects by Christofle of the late XIX century are so rare and announce with their Japanese influence the best of Art Nouveau creations. Always extremely chic and impressive on a table.

  Vassilakis Takis, Espace Intérieur, 1957-1959.
  Estimate €6,000–8,000.

  I simply love this gilt bronze sculpture by Takis, a historical piece and most probably unique from the 1950s. It was exhibited at the Jeu de Paume in Paris.

  Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Table Lamp, circa 1920.
  Estimate €10,000–15,000.

  Ruhlmann epitomizes perfection, any piece he designed is pure balance and the finish is always luxurious and elegant. This silvered bronze table lamp and lamp-shade is very recognisable of his style.

  François-Xavier Lalanne, Main Culbuto, Unique, 1965.
  Estimate €30,000–50,000.

  A unique and wonderful hand by FXL that embodies the lyrical and poetic aspect of his creation. Called Culbuto, this hand’s base allows it to wave and say hello when you touch it.

  Arinox, Six Chairs, circa 1970.
  Estimate €4,000–6,000.

  These wonderful 1970’s chairs in stainless steel represent the use of this material at the time when industry (in this case the metal industry) and artists collaborated and created items of their time with the material of their time.

  Pavel Tchelitchew, L'homme à la Houpe, 1953.
  Estimate €30,000–50,000.

  Larger than most of the artist’s pastels , this one on blue paper is extremely strong. I love the contrast between the really geometrical lines that construct the bust and the really free form circles that create a vibration reminds me of Leonardo Da Vinci’s human study in the circle.
