Traditional Decorative Arts Pieces with a Modern Twist

In Stash by Lee Stanton’s upcoming Traditional Decorative Arts Pieces with a Modern Twist auction, an elaborate red tapestry will be featured. The early 18th-century piece comes from the famous carpet making center of Venice, Italy. This style of tapestry gained popularity during the 13th through the 16th centuries. The lot description indicates that tapestry was made for a Jewish temple in Prague called Rioleau D’Arche. 

A green vase associated with the Art Deco movement also stands out in the listings. Representing Modernism,  the Art Deco movement began in the 1920s and reached its height several years later. The available piece can be characterized by geometric patterns and a sleek design. The auction will also offer several sculptures and paintings. A 19th-century sculpture of a Borghese gladiator is particularly featured, showing the warrior in a fighting stance. Abstract art and monochromatic ceramics will be available as well.
