Eileen GRAY (1878-1976)
Set of two exceptional modernist stools in nickel-plated tubular metal, later white relacquered.
Seat upholstered in brown skai (later upholstery) for one of them.
Non-original plastic glides.
Circa 1929
40 x 32 and 26 x 30 cm
Provenance :
- Sotheby's Monaco sale on October 13, 1991, which included 29 pieces of furniture from villa E-1027 in Roquebrune Cap Martin (France).
- Estate of Pierre Fauroux, architect
Note: the current state of these two pieces certainly corresponds to the era of Marie-Louise Schelbert (she was in the habit of reworking certain pieces of furniture), owner of villa E-1027 from 1960 to 1974, when she donated it to her doctor, Peter Kaegi. It was the latter who commissioned Pierre Fauroux to carry out a restoration study of the villa (which was unsuccessful) and to sell certain pieces of the villa's furniture at Sotheby's in 1991.
