A Neoclassical painted and parcel-gilt console table Italy, late 18th century Marble and painted wood H 90 x W 110 x D 54 cm Italian neoclassical console table retaining its beautifully faded original painted and parcel-gilt decoration.

The table is raised on four beautifully proportioned fluted legs, tapering to an unusually fine point and giving the table a particularly elegant and refined profile.
VKD Jewels
Cartier Pair of Ladybird clip brooches France, circa 1935 Coral, diamonds and enamel Signed Cartier Paris French assay mark for 18k gold Each modelled as a ladybird, the wing cases are carved from coral and divided by a central line, set with bezel-set old-cut diamond 'spots'. The head, thorax and legs are in black enamel, the leg tips of the larger example accented with small diamonds. The brooches are in two sizes and fitted with clip mechanisms. The ladybird is a traditional good-luck symbol in Europe. Its old name, 'Our Lady’s bird', ties it to the Virgin Mary, and it has been a popular motif in charm and novelty jewelry since the 19th century. Cartier’s insect and animal jewels belong to its naturalistic repertoire. That tradition grew strongly in the 1930s and 1940s, when Jeanne Toussaint led Cartier’s high-jewelry design in Paris. Her best-known creations are the panther pieces and the fauna and flora brooches. Small, wearable lucky motifs in coral, enamel, onyx and diamonds were part of this range.

Galerie Hadjer
Sonia Delaunay (Ukraine, Gradizhsk 1885-1979 Paris) Rythmes Ondulatoires, circa 1970 Handwoven Aubusson wool tapestry 165 x 225 cm Woven by Pinton Frères, Felletin-Aubusson, France, after Sonia Delaunay’s original design Signed 'Sonia Delaunay' in the weave, lower left, and bearing the Pinton workshop monogramme Edition of 6 + 2 AP Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Pinton workshops, Felletin-Aubusson, France Provenance: Atelier Pinton, private collection, France Rythmes Ondulatoires is an important example of Sonia Delaunay’s exploration of colour, rhythm and movement translated into the medium of tapestry. The composition is structured through an intricate interplay of circles, semicircles, concentric arcs and intersecting geometric planes. Vivid fields of red, blue, green, yellow and orange are set against black, white and grey, generating a powerful sense of optical vibration and continuous movement across the woven surface. The composition reflects Delaunay’s lifelong investigation into simultaneous colour contrasts, developed from the early twentieth century onwards. Together with Robert Delaunay, she explored the capacity of juxtaposed colours and geometric forms to create rhythm, luminosity and movement. These principles became fundamental to her distinctive contribution to the development of abstraction. The Collection Société Générale similarly describes Delaunay’s work in terms of her investigations into light, the movement of colours and “simultaneous contrast,” through vivid geometric forms organised into rhythmic compositions. The tapestry also reflects Delaunay’s longstanding commitment to dissolving the traditional distinction between fine and applied arts. Throughout her career, her abstract vocabulary extended beyond painting into textiles, fashion, interior decoration and other forms of applied art. Her use of pure colour and simultaneous contrasts remained central across these different media. In Rythmes Ondulatoires, the translation of Delaunay’s composition into wool by the Pinton workshops, one of the leading modern tapestry manufacturers in the Aubusson tradition, gives physical substance and texture to her chromatic language. The concentric curves and repeated arcs create an almost musical rhythm, while the juxtaposition of geometric forms produces a composition that appears to expand and contract across the surface. References and comparable examples Another Rythmes Ondulatoires, dated 1970, is documented as a handwoven Aubusson wool tapestry in scholarly lecture material devoted to Robert and Sonia Delaunay. The Société Générale Art Collection also holds a work entitled Rythmes ondulatoires, measuring 167 × 225 cm, closely corresponding in dimensions and composition. The collection describes the work through its geometric lines and forms, interwoven vivid colours and characteristic rhythmic harmony.
