Pursuit of Beauty: Albert Cheuret's Extraordinary Owl Console Soars From the Very Heart of Art Deco in Heritage's May 14 Design Auction
Joining it is a set of Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann chairs once owned by Andy Warhol, rare Tiffany Studios lamps, a Victor Prouvé vase for Gallé and more
In 1925, at the height of the Jazz Age, an exposition of modern design in Paris would come to define the 20th century, coining the term "Art Deco" and heralding a new style that balanced tradition with innovation, the natural with the geometric, and the handmade with the industrially-produced. On May 14, Heritage's Pursuit of Beauty auction celebrates the centennial of the legendary Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes:
"Paris had been planning another international exposition since the 'Universelle' in 1900, and it finally arrived in 1925," says Nicholas Dawes, Heritage's Senior Vice President of Special Collections. "The world united and rejoiced in what must be the most elegant exhibition in history, gilding the horrors of war and kickstarting the modern world. We are delighted to offer several rarities plucked from this period, and this very event, including spectacular furnishings by Ruhlmann and Cheuret and, for a smaller budget, an original show ticket and ephemera."
Meant to showcase France's dominance in luxury arts after World War I, the exposition marked a decisive moment in the history of design. It included 15,000 exhibitors from 20 different countries, and unveiled to the general public many ideas of the international avant-garde in architecture and decorative arts.

Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction.
Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed. |
Buyer's premium
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auctions is 25% on the first $1,000,000 (minimum $49), 20% of any amount between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, and 15% of any amount over $5,000,000 per lot.. |

Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction.
Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session. |
