Upcoming Revere Auctions Event Will Highlight Selections From the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher

Carlo Bugatti was a specialist in Art Nouveau furniture known for his distinctive and lavish designs. Bugatti started manufacturing furniture in Milan in 1880 and received worldwide fame. A large Eastern-style pier mirror by Bugatti is available in the upcoming Style & Splendor: Selections from the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher sale, presented by Revere Auctions. Bugatti’s fondness for Eastern influences can be seen in the ebony wood shelf which is decorated with a marquetry top and metal inlay illustrating bamboo, flowers, and birds.

An unusual chair will be available in the sale as well. The offered item is considered to be a revolutionary piece that exhibits postwar Japan’s developing vitality and ingenuity. Shiro Kuramata is known as one of the most important Japanese designers of the 20th century. Kuramata was primarily recognized for his use of commercial materials such as wire steel mesh and plexiglass to design furniture. Adorned with a standard upholstered armchair, the double seater chair is made of reflective nickel-plated steel mesh. The design was made to challenge the concept of form in furniture design, according to the lot essay. Discover a wide range of fine art, furniture, and jewelry online auctions on Bidsquare.
