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. Another Pinton-woven Rythmes Ondulatoires was publicly presented by Galleria Antonio Verolino at ArtePadova in 2024, documenting the continued presence of this composition within the art market and exhibition context. The tapestry is in very good overall condition, with strong and well-preserved colours, with no known restorations.

EOS Ring Inspired by Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. She who brings the first light of day, casting a golden glow across the horizon before the world awakens. A symbol of renewal, radiance, and quiet transformation. Crafted in sandblasted 18kt yellow gold, the ring carries a soft, sunlit warmth. Its matte surface evokes the first rays of morning light diffused through the atmosphere - gentle, luminous, and timeless. Rather than reflecting light sharply, the gold seems to hold it within, creating a subtle glow that feels both ancient and contemporary. At its centre rests an elongated, natural, step-cut diamond. Surrounding white diamonds accentuate the composition, enhancing the contrast between the softness of the gold and the crystalline purity of the central stone.

Heutink Ikonen
Two angels of the Lord Central Russia, circa 1800 Ø 44 cm Provenance: private collection, Germany This remarkable icon depicts two angels, each holding a ripidion - a ceremonial liturgical fan symbolising the constant presence of the seraphim around the altar, which is used during processions and other solemn occasions in the Eastern liturgy. Given its distinctive shape and subject, it is likely that the icon formed part of a church iconostasis, where it would probably have been positioned to the right of the royal doors, which provided access to the altar area.
