To Die For


A set of four green painted and parcel gilt side chairs, circa 1965
by Pierre Delbee of Maison Jansen

Amazing.

Sold at Christie's London, 2009 for $16,000
$6,000 over their estimate.

    A swagged drape and animal legs -- great features for a chair.

    I suffer from an incurable, irreversible chair fetish, and these make me weak.

    I do as well, and these are just the best. I'm not sure I could ask for more.

    Absolutely exquisite! The draped backrest is so dramatic. Of course they are Maison Jansen!
