Jean-Henri Riesener (1734-1806)

A master of neoclassical furniture, Riesener designed original mechanical furniture commissioned by prestigious clients.

The name Riesener is always synonymous with high quality craftsmanship. A reputation that is reflected in this pair of sideboards, dispersed with part of the famous Hudson Collection.

Henri Husson is an artist whose work is rare on the market. He is the creator of this astonishing silver bowl featuring a fish whose body disappears beneath water lily leaves and two beetles.

Painted when the artist was not yet famous, this seaside subject puts people at the center of the composition.

In 1885 French artist Henri Martin discovered Venice. From this point forward the city of the Doges became a recurring theme in the painter's career, capturing its glittering colors and the majesty of its palaces.

In cherry red, Jean Royère's iconic "Ours polaire" (Polar Bear) is even softer and more cozy, making you want to curl up on it.

Two works by famous artists achieved the highest bids: Jean Royère’s polar bear sofa and Auguste Rodin’s Saint John the Baptist.

The authentic poetry of Henri Le Sidaner's painting is more than ever visible in this view of the canal in Gisors. This town and its region inspired the artist for decades.

An accomplished example of the French sculptor and architect’s spectacular art within reach of the purse strings.

Sold today by an art lover who was a close friend of Pierre Matisse, this large charcoal and stump drawing was a preparatory work for a painting that was never completed.
