Rooted in a deep engagement with Oriental art, our auction house inaugurates the Decorative Arts Department as a space of connection between cultures, styles, and visions. The new department was established with the aim of exploring the fascinating intersections between Asia and Europe, through works of art and furnishings that tell stories of exchange, influence, and mutual wonder.
Chinese porcelains admired by European dynasties, Japanese lacquers reinterpreted by French cabinetmakers, and European furnishings inspired by the Far East through a spirit of collecting or exoticism: the department is dedicated to works that, rather than belonging to a single tradition, are situated at the crossroads of different worlds.
Alongside these transcultural dialogues, the department also includes traditional European furnishings from the 17th to the 20th century, presented within a perspective that enhances their value as part of a global aesthetic narrative. This new chapter enriches our vision, reaffirming our commitment to presenting decorative arts not merely as expressions of taste, but as living manifestations of a shared history between East and West.
In confirmation of this vision, the most recent auction of the Decorative Arts Department achieved notable results, including the following sales:
