A large 1930's handmade painted wooden doll's house, modelled as a mock tudor house, 92cm

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Manabi Province, Jamacoaque (Jama Coaque or Jama-Coaque), ca. 500 CE. A hollow mold-made terracotta female figure who sits with four birds perched upon her arms and her hands placed upon two percussive drums. She is highly decorated with an elaborate beaded necklace of turquoise hues and multiple yellow strands, multiple armlets and bracelets adorned by turquoise blue and yellow hues, large ear ornaments incised so as to resemble shells, an enormous yellow nose ring, pointed blue labret flanked by four hemispheric face piercings - as well as a striking headdress and coiffure - the headdress comprised of 3 raised hemispheric sections (with twin pointed lobes of hair emerging from the outer 2) - that are incised with zigzag and ray motifs and present traces of turquoise blue pigment, over a plain yellow caplike section. Liberal remains of aqua blue, golden yellow, and green pigment adorn the figure and her accoutrements. Size: 8.375" W x 10.5" H (21.3 cm x 26.7 cm)It is clear that the Jama-Coaque artists were a sophisticated lot who could create finely modeled sculpture as well as various textiles adorned with imaginative ornamentation, quite evident in the workmanship required to create the elaborate regalia of this seated figure's highly decorated state. The Precolumbian worship of sky animals, here referenced by the birds, stemmed from their belief that these winged creatures served as messengers between man and his deities. Provenance: Morton Dimondstein, Los Angeles; Acquired from the above in the 1970's and early 1980's; ex John Rich collection, Beverly Hills CA. John was a notable Hollywood producer/director.

A SET OF 8 ROQUEBRUNE CHAIRS by Eileen Gray for ARAM, with chromium plated tubular frames and white leather seats (8)Provenance: Purchased from Aram approx 20 years ago by the present owner.For the terrace of her second house in Castellar, Eileen Gray designed a very comfortable chair with a deep seating area. This chair was covered with blue canvas but then she created another version, this one for interior use, that was identical in the lines but was finished instead in leather. And thus Roquebrune, another design classic from the 30’s, was born. Eileen Gray also designed a rug named Roquebrune. Aram Designs Ltd. holds the Worldwide licence for Eileen Gray's Designs.

HENRI MARTIN (FRENCH 1860-1943) Le Lot en dessous des falaises de Saint Cirq Lapopie, 1930s oil on canvas 95.5 x 76.5 cm (37 1/4 x 30 1/8 in.) signed lower right PROVENANCESotheby`s, New York, 8-9 May 2007, lot 136 Acquired at the above sale by the present ownerThe authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Cyrille Martin. We are grateful to the Musee de Cahors Henri-Martin for their assistance in cataloging this lot.The present work depicts the famous Lot near the picturesque village Saint-Cirq-Lapopie in south-western France, where Martin bought a house in 1912. The artist would often spend the spring season there, enjoying beautiful views and "exercising his sense of composition" as written by Claude Juskiewenski in 1974. Many art historians noted, that Martin's painting, particularly those of later period, reflect the clarity of light and vivid coloring of the south. The painting reflected the brilliant colors and scintillating brushwork that characterize so much of the artist's landscapes after he left Paris and is a particularly fine example of Martin's mature style.
