Paul Dupré-Lafon (1900-1971)

Unseen on the market since 1987, and kept out of sight in a Neuilly collection, a rare set of furniture by the "decorator/ensemblier" is set to go up for auction.

In the 1930s-1940s, French designer and architect Paul Dupré-Lafon collaborated with Hermès, in particular for a line of office furniture. In the spotlight: a pair of oak and brass coffee tables (circa 1938), topped with the leather of the famous French house, estimated at €80,000/100,000 by R&C on June 27, Room 14-15.

Paul Touzet was one of France's most renowned post-war experts. The sale of part of his collection of paintings and drawings is an opportunity to pay him a well-deserved tribute.

A joint Art Nouveau creation by Majorelle and Daum shone out in all its glory, while Art Deco revealed its sober lines and precious materials.

This painting by Paul Sérusier is the star of a sale that also includes drawings and writings by Pablo Picasso. Hailing from the family of Max Pellequer, The Wheat Threshers of 1893 makes its first appearance on the art market.

Explorer Paul Marcoy's account of a trip to Peru inspired this vivid canvas full of exotic birds.

Anna Boch, the only woman who exhibited at the Salon des XX in Brussels, was an artist, musician and collector of paintings by Paul Gaugin, Vincent Van Gogh, Georges Seraut, Paul Signac and Lucie Cousturier

Devoted exclusively to archaeology, this sale will feature some sixty works from the Paul Gaudin Collection, including Egyptian and Greco-Roman works.

At the age of 25, German painter Paul Weber (1823-1916) traveled to the United States and joined the Hudson River School, characterized by a luminous romantic painting. It is a simple and idyllic life that emerges from The Königsee, painted in Munich in 1874 and offered €10,000/15,000 on July 1 in room 6 with Ferri.

This painting, which has been lovingly kept in the family of Charles Jonnart, a governor in Algeria, for over a century, illustrates a little-known chapter in the animal painter’s career.
