JOSÉ RAMÓN SIERRA DELGADO (Valencia - Actuaal).SORIA Armchair, 1984.Armchair in wood, leather and bronze.Work inventoried in the catalogue: Diseño industrial de Andalucía, page 158.Measurements: 80 x 65 x 85 cm.Designed for a furnishing competition for the Parador Nacional Antonio Machado in Soria. Armchair for parador, casino, office and library. The design establishes a reflection on the shape and minimum dimensions that support the body, allowing it to move massively from top to bottom and from bottom to top, permitting a double seating position. It incorporates the two rollers of the backrest, a kidney seat and pillow. A piece of furniture of protected corporal presentation, almost a throne or showcase, or of apparent concealment and self-absorption, almost a coffin, without the need for a lid. Furniture, above all, of precise domestic proportions.For the rest, the design insists on the same concerns of ten years earlier, (Plaza Nueva armchair 1974), this time in the Sorian winter style, recollected and closed. Mahogany and bronze feet, with refined deco resonances, and upholstered in natural leather.

Epstein held his first one-man exhibition at the Twenty-One Gallery and they represented him for the first few years before Leicester Galleries took over. This is Epstein's first bronze sculpture - it was originally thought to have been modelled in 1902-4, but as can be seen from Epstein's note on the back of the invoice frame, it was 1907.This is also one of the first 2 or 3 casts of this sculpture, cast in 1907 - the earliest casts were signed and featured the foundry stamp - later casts were unsigned with no foundry stamp. Most casts appearing on the market were cast posthumously in the 1960s by Lady Epstein [all unsigned].Literature: 'The Sculpture of Jacob Epstein', E.

A SET OF FOUR BRONZE LANTERNS, of octagonal tapering design. Each 77cm highProvenance: Formerly hung as street lamps on O’Connell Street, Dublin C.1960’s/70’sIn 1937 Dublin Corporation installed a new system of public lighting in the city centre of the capital. One scheme focused on the traffic route while the other was for the pedestrian throughfare. They enlisted the help of a Parisian foundry to carry out the commission. The specific demands of the footpaths required them to be hung from tall doubled armed lamp posts. Dark green in colour, they blended seamlessly into the surroundings while their height allowed for maximum illumination on the dark city streets. The new lights were erected on O’Connell St., D’Olier St., Trinity College, Nassau St., Dame St., and Westmorland St.In the 1970’s the lighting was once again changed by the corporation and these lanterns in the sale represent an important artefact of Dublin’s architectural history.
