THE ROLLING STONES SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH,circa 1964, depicting and bearing signatures of Charlie Watt, Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and Keith Richards, 9cm x 14cm, along with two original photographs, the first depicting Jagger, the second Jagger, Richards and WymanNote: The following lots 978-980 were collected by the vendor circa 1964. She had a pen friend in America who divulged the addresses of the her favourite music stars, to whom she wrote requesting autographs.Further to her penfriend divulging that information, they also attended a Stones gig in North America. At this gig, they were able to take the following never before seen photographs.Each is with pen inscription to the reverse. The first is rather humorously inscribed 'Keith looks great', this despite it being a picture of Jagger. The vendor specifically had a 'crush' on Richards, though the pen friend (not being particualrly well acquianted with the band) confused the two, capturing this candid shot.The second is titled 'This is when we got into the room with them. We were the only ones cause we were first in line.'Note: Whilst Mctear's has no reason to doubt the authenticity of the signature, we can offer no warranty in that respect.

Following models by CHARLOTTE PERRIAND (France, 1903 - 1999) and LE CORBUSIER; CHARLES EDOUARD JEANNERET-GRIS (Switzerland, 1887 - France, 1965).Pair of LC7 chairs.Tubular steel frame and white upholstery.Measurements: 73 x 60 x 50 cm.This pair of chairs continues the model of the LC7 armchair, designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1927 for her Parisian apartment in Place Saint-Sulpice. It was initially presented at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1928 and was subsequently exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1929 as a complement to the collection created by the author together with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. It is a modern swivel chair that has become a design icon for its versatility and functionality. Available with 4 or 5 legs (the former being our example), the chair has a padded backrest and a soft cushion also as a seat in white leather.Charlotte Perriand worked in Le Corbusier's studio as head of furniture and interiors. She was an internationally renowned French artist, architect and designer and a driving force behind modern interior architecture. Inspired by Japanese minimalism, she developed the concept of storage furniture and, together with Jean Prouvé, practiced the democratization of interior design with key pieces of the twentieth century. She became known at the age of 24 with her "Bar sous le Toit" in chromed steel and anodized aluminum, which was presented at the 1927 Salon d'Automne. Shortly thereafter he began his more than ten-year career alongside Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier. In 1927 he established his first studio of his own. He developed the concept of domestic storage and multifunctional furniture, equipping interiors for an emerging way of life and standardizing decoration, thus avoiding any extravagance. He collaborated with Le Corbusier on numerous architectural projects, designing the fittings for different dwellings such as the villas La Roche-Jeanneret, Church en Ville-d'Avray, Stein-de Monzie and the Villa Savoye, as well as the interiors of the Swiss Pavilion in the Cité Universitaire and the Cité Refuge de l'Armée du Salut, both in Paris. He also worked with him on the definition of the cellule minimum (1929). His relationship with Le Corbusier resumed after the war, developing the first prototype of the integrated kitchen for the Unité d'Habitation de Marseille. He also collaborated with Fernand Léger. His career spanned places as diverse as Brazil, Congo, England, France, Japan, French New Guinea, Switzerland, and Vietnam. The Design Museum of London dedicated an exhibition to the designer in which her career was shown.

HANS J. WEGNER (Tønder, Denmark, 1914 - 2007).Set of six PP52 chairs.Oak wood frame, with cognac coloured leather upholstered seat.Measurements: 72 x 58 x 50 cm.This is one of the Round Chair models designed by Hans J. Wegner, specifically the PP52 chair. Like the author's emblematic PP501 chair, the PP52 combines craftsmanship and modernity in an exceptional way. Wegner presents a chair that values natural beauty, beautiful grain and flowing lines, whose geometric expressiveness is tempered by gentle curves.Hans J. Wegner was a leading figure in furniture design, whose ideas contributed to the international popularity of Danish design in the mid-20th century. His work belongs to the modern school, characterised by a special emphasis on functionality. He began his training at a very young age, as an apprentice to the cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. He soon discovered a special taste for the use of wood, and his work in the cabinetmaker's workshop enabled him to experiment with different types and designs. At the age of seventeen he completed his apprenticeship, although he remained in the workshop for a further three years until he entered the army. After his military service he entered a technical school and then the Danmarks Designskole, where he was taught by O. Mølgaard Nielsen, and the Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. In the Danish capital he came into contact with the Furniture Exhibitions of the Carpenters' Guild, where he began to show his creations in 1927. During these years Wegner collaborated with master cabinetmakers such as J. Hansen, L. Pontoppidan, N. Vodder, J. Kjaer, A. J. Iversen, Moos and R. Rasmussen, and also with the most prominent Danish architects of the time, among them K. Klint, V. Lauritzen. O. Wanscher and M. Voltelen. The annual exhibitions would give the young cabinetmaker experience of what could be achieved with the combination of design and craftsmanship, which led him to devote himself fully to design. Already in his first pieces, Wegner showed his interest in the concept of "stripping old chairs of their outer style and showing them in their pure structure". Throughout his career, this designer was awarded prizes such as the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Grand Prix de Milan at the Milan Triennale of the same year, the Prince Eugene Medal in Sweden and the Danish Exkersberg Medal. In 1959 he was appointed honorary royal designer for industry by the Royal Society of Arts in London. Today, his designs can be found in collections such as those of the MoMA in New York and Die Neue Samlung in Munich.

They have a cut glass body with satin glass shades and a nickel-plated brass frame. Famous French master glassmaker and decorator, Max Ingrand was artistic director of FontanaArte from 1954 to 1964. During that time he devised true design classics, such as the Fontana table lamp. He was educated at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, studying with Jacques Grüber and Charles Lemaresquier. He was elected president of the Association Française de l'Illumination in 1968. That same year he founded the company Verre Lumière, one of the first producers of halogen lamps. Between the 1940s and 1960s, he created numerous stained glass windows for churches (in some cases replacing those destroyed in the Second World War), including those for Pontoise Cathedral (1955), Strasbourg Cathedral (1956), and the chapels of Blois Castle (1957). He has also worked on important civil buildings.
