Jewelry includes a 17 ct sapphire set in white gold and surrounded by diamonds (€10,000/12,000). The Asian section will be charming, with a small Chinese glazed ceramic brush-rinse bowl, formed by a lotus leaf with a flower at its center (€150/200). The picture rails will take us back in time to the 16th century with Les Plaisirs de l'hiver, painted on panel in the style of Jacob Grimmer (€1,000/1,200). Furniture will be eclectic, from the low "berger" stool designed by Charlotte Perriand and published by Steph Simon (€300/500), to a snack table by Gallé, with inlaid plant and talking decoration (€2,000/3,000), and a "Sitzmachine" armchair created around 1908 by Josef Hoffmann and Jacob & Josef Kohn (€6,000/8,000). A chryselephantine dancer, created around 1925 by Paul Philippe (€4,000/4,200), will sketch out a choreography to the tune of an 18th-century German violin by the Klotz school (approx. €1,400).
