From industrially produced furniture to unique design pieces - more than 180 objects and furniture from 1900 to 2022 await you in our annual highlight auction 'Schools of Design' on 29 November. The auction starts with several rare furniture designs by Henry van de Velde. The majority of them are marked with the famous artist's signature. The desk (estimate 28,000 - 35,000€) and the cabinet with shelves (12,000 - 14,000€), both made around 1908, even bear the rare brass plaque of the court cabinetmaker Hermann Scheidemantel in Weimar. The chapter 'Bauhaus - German Design' also compiles very special objects: the second version of the iconic slatted chair by Marcel Breuer (50,000 - 70,000€) this time is complemented with the table from the same „Tischlerei“ series, called 'ti' for short by the designer. The table with a reversible top in two different veneers is offered for estimated 18,000 - 22,000€. No less exciting is the row of five theater chairs, executed by Thonet Frankenberg. The more advanced model of the ‚B1‘ theater chair by Marcel Breuer can be bought for 5,000 - 6,000€. Read more... |
