Decorative Arts of the 20th Century

“The decorative arts of the 20th century draw inspiration from their time: technological progress, scientific advancements, material developments, computer-assisted design… Functional objects, ornaments, and furniture are shaped by these transformations. That’s the richness of my profession.”

— Jessica Remy Catanese

Every year, two specialized auctions are organized in Neuilly-sur-Seine, offering over 300 objects by renowned artists for sale. All fields of the arts are represented: glassware by artists such as Emile Gallé, Daum, René Lalique, François Decorchemont; ceramics by Théodore Deck; and furniture by Hector Guimard, Louis Majorelle, or Eugène Gaillard from the 1900s era. The graphic works include pieces by Alphonse Mucha, Jean Dunand, Gaston Suisse, and Paul Jouve. The furniture and lighting from the 1920s and 1930s feature works by Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Paul Dupré Lafon, Armand Albert Rateau, André Sornay, Robert Mallet Stevens, Jean Boris Lacroix, Perzel, or Desny. The periods of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s showcase Jules Leleu, Jacques Adnet, Jean Prouvé, Mathieu Matégot, and Jean Royère, as well as the renowned decoration houses like Jansen, Baguès, and Ramsay. In the realm of design, notable names include Georges Jouve, Ado Chale, Fred Brouard, Willy Daro, Joe Colombo, and Ron Arad…

Our catalogs, meticulously documented and translated into English, emphasize the high-quality photography of the objects and their signatures, as well as the overall graphic presentation. This attention to detail provides our international clientele, comprising 50% of our buyers, with a powerful and distinctive tool. For each auction, we ensure extensive advertising in foreign publications, interior design magazines, and websites.
