Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Jean-Michel Frank showcased at Piasa March 20

Jean Prouvé, set of six ‘Métropole’ chairs, no. 305, estimated at €80,000-€120,000 ($87,090-$130,635) at Piasa.

PARIS — Fine quality and an eye for great design characterize the 210 lots coming up for bid at Piasa on Wednesday, March 20. Its French Design sale features some of the 20th century’s brightest talents, and the catalog is now open for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) was a modern-day Renaissance man who was largely self-taught. His career spanned architecture and industrial design, as well as structural and furniture design. It is said that his greatest achievement was taking his background in manufacturing and bringing it to architecture without erasing the importance of a building’s aesthetics. His furniture designs are coveted today, as seen in this set of six no. 305 Metropole chairs. They descend directly from Prouvé’s personal collection, and were made in 1950. They are estimated at €80,000-€120,000 ($87,090-$130,635).

A titan of French design, Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) is represented by 23 lots in Piasa’s sale. Built between 1955 and 1962, this Nuage wall-mounted bookshelf is made of lacquered metal and wood and measures 6ft in length. It is estimated at €60,000-€90,000 ($65,320-$97,980).

Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) is considered a major French figure in Art Deco, but differed from his peers through his use of exotic veneers and natural patterns, such as snake and sharkskin. This parchment-clad wooden desk dates to 1930 and is nearly 60in in width. Its estimate is €70,000-€90,000 ($76,205-$97,980).

Marc du Plantier (1901-1975) is represented by a pair of 35in-square coffee tables made in 1963. Built with patinated iron and stained glass, they were first marketed in an Artedecor Los Angeles commercial flyer as ‘no. 24.’ The pair is estimated at €30,000-€40,000 ($32,660-€43,545).

LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. — Palm Beach Modern Auctions is mounting a massive 474-lot Modern + Contemporary Art, Design & Luxury sale featuring some of the biggest names in 20th-century design. The complete catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

The sale’s top-estimated lot is a 1982 work by Venezuelan optical and kinetic artist Jesus Rafael Soto (1923-2005). Ambivalencia en el Espacio, Color 16 is a 40.25in square sculpture fashioned from painted wood and metal. It includes labeling which reads Editions Denise Rene, Paris, France, signed and describing the work as unique | Museu de Arte Contemporaneo de Caracas, Venezuela, registration number 035. Provenance: Artist’s studio. The sculpture carries an estimate of $80,000-$120,000.

Famed Vogue Magazine photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) spent his entire career capturing images of the famous and beautiful for the printed page. Woman in Chicken Hat (Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn) was originally photographed in New York during the 1948-1949 timeframe, shortly after Penn had returned from wartime duties as part of the American Field Service. This signed and stamped print is numbered 15 from an edition of 20 released in 1984 and features provenance from the Hal Katzen Gallery in New York. It is estimated at $70,000-$90,000.

Though he is most often associated with Art Deco, Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) presaged the mid-century modern movement, though he never lived to see it. These side tables are made from wood and parchment and were apparently made by Frank as a private commission. In very good condition, with only a few minor nicks to the edges, the tables are estimated at $50,000-$70,000.

Legendary Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) made some of the 20th century’s most recognizable light fixtures. One of his most sought-after creations is included in the sale: Snowflake Chandelier, a premier offering from Tynell’s Taito firm. Made of perforated brass with numerous dangling flakes, the fixture is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

SARASOTA, Fla. — St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church of Palm Coast, Florida is in need of major roofing repairs, so a local resident stepped up and donated a lifetime collection of top-quality perfume bottles as a fundraiser. Helmuth Stone Gallery will bring all 454 lots to auction on Tuesday, November 28 on behalf of the church. The catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Many collectors agree that long after the perfume is gone, the artistry of the bottle remains. Perfume manufacturers knew this from the earliest days, and competed to create memorable and enduring packages that would be treasured as keepsakes.

The private individual maintained an eye for quality and rarity when assembling this collection. One of the sale’s highest estimated lots, a Guerlain Coque d’Or box and bottle, is a one-two punch of premier design. The wooden package was created by famed French minimalist Jean-Michel Frank and the bottle is by Baccarat. Guerlain was a top perfume and cosmetics company in France in 1937 (and remains so today) whose executives went all out for the launch of Coque d’Or, as this lot demonstrates. Though the perfume is long gone, the lot is estimated at $1,500-$3,000.

The sale includes 45 lots designed by René Lalique. Le Baiser du Faune (Kiss of the Fawn) is a Molinard perfume with a commissioned bottle by Lalique. Introduced in 1928, the bottle features the mythical faun figure kissing a lovely lady. Marked R LALIQUE by mold, the lot is estimated at $1,500-$3,000.

Though overshadowed by their French superiors, Czech perfume companies made their mark in the early 20th century with sophisticated bottle designs and alluring fragrances. Heinrich Hoffmann was a prewar Czech perfume manufacturer who created this remarkable black crystal perfume bottle. It includes a green knot-shaped stopper, a dauber, a marcasite and enameled silver metal holder, and green crystal feet. It is estimated at $750-$1,500. Interestingly, Hoffmann’s molds survived the war and have been resurrected by modern perfume manufacturers, and continue to circulate today under the Desna brand.

Esteemed perfume house L. T. Piver of France engaged Baccarat for its 1927 release of Astris. The hexagonal body contains a six-pointed star, is marked BACCARAT on the base and carries an estimate of $800-$1,500.
