Armchair model "Leda" Structure in polished cast brass varnish. Salvador Dali Taken from “Femme à tête de roses" (1935)” 1935 (Woman with a head of roses). It was sufficient for this sculpture to be made as a three dimensional piece, remaining faithful to every detail in Dalí’s painting. Dalí affirmed: “A chair can be used even to sit on, but only on one condition: That we sit uncomfortably.” We can sit on the Leda, but due to the fact that it only has three legs and that the chair is heavy, it being made of solid brass, is more a work of art than a functional piece of furniture. © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres, 2022 Artworks by Salvador Dalí: © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, VEGAP, Barcelona, 2022 Salvador Dalí is the most versatile and prolific artists of the 20th century and the most famous Surrealist. Though chiefly remembered for his painterly output, in the course of his long career he successfully turned to sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing, filmmaking and design. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. In the Paris of the 1930s, Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends working in the application of art to a number of varied disciplines, beyond the study of purely pictorial art. One of these, Jean-Michel Frank, an acclaimed furniture designer and decorator in Paris at that time, got on extremely well with Dalí, and together they developed a number of ideas. One example of this is the Bracelli lamp, a classic design in Jean-Michel’s manner of designing and working that Dalí adopted for his home in Portlligat. Among Dalí’s projects, which add to his CV as a designer, are the garden furniture for his home in Portlligat, the complete architecture of the Night Club (in the shape of a hedgehog) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and a project for a bar in California in the 1940s. His creations were not limited to traditional furniture elements, but included taps, handles, knobs, prints and objects of indeterminate use. In 1933, Dalí even registered the patent for the design of a bench as an outdoor seat. In the 1990s, a team of experts led by Oscar Tusquets set out to bring to life the furniture that Dalí had sketched for Jean-Michel Frank, including the Leda chair and low table taken from the 1935 painting “Femme...

Pair of Early 20th-Century Nickel-Silver-Mounted Drinking Horns on Stands An exceptional and highly decorative pair of early 20th-century nickel silver mounted drinking horns, raised on elegant pedestal stands and crafted in the grand tradition of European ceremonial tableware. Each natural horn is beautifully curved and richly toned, displaying warm ivory, honey, and charcoal striations that highlight the organic character of the material. The rims are mounted with polished nickel silver collars, while the midsections feature finely worked metal mounts with engraved foliate detailing, adding refinement and historic gravitas. The horns are supported by sculptural nickel silver stems and circular stepped bases, creating a striking silhouette with impressive vertical presence. Drinking horns of this scale and quality were traditionally associated with Nordic, Germanic, and Continental European ceremonial traditions, often used in festive banquets, aristocratic gatherings, and historical revival interiors. By the early 20th century, such pieces became highly sought-after decorative objects, reflecting the Romantic fascination with medieval and Viking revival...

A Pair of Antique Horn Drinking Vessels with Silvered Figural Stands, 19th Century This striking pair of sculptural horn vessels exemplifies the dramatic elegance of 19th-century European decorative arts, combining natural materials with finely modelled metalwork. Each vessel is formed from a polished natural horn, gracefully curved and mounted with silvered metal mounts, including pierced collars and tapered finials that accentuate the organic silhouette of the horn. The horns are supported by cast silvered figural bases, each depicting a standing male figure in period dress, posed dynamically as if presenting the vessel above. The figures rest on stepped circular bases, lending architectural stability and theatrical presence to the composition. The interplay between the warm, variegated tones of the horn and the cool brilliance of the silvered metal creates a visually compelling contrast, both tactile and sculptural. Historically inspired by ceremonial drinking horns associated with aristocratic, guild, and courtly traditions, this pair functions today as luxury decorative objects rather than utilitarian vessels. They are ideal as statement centrepieces, cabinet highlights, or collector’s objects, appealing to interiors that celebrate historicism, masculinity, and craftsmanship. Whether placed symmetrically on a console, flanking a mantelpiece, or displayed in a curated interior vignette, these horn vessels project authority, heritage, and refined eccentricity. Details Type: Pair of decorative horn vessels / drinking horns Date: 19th century Materials: Natural horn, silver mounts Decoration: Figural silvered stands, pierced collars Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear Presentation: A matched and visually balanced pair Diameter approx. 14 cm, height approx. 51.5 cm A remarkable collection of antique drinking horns...

The admiration felt by modern designers for the furniture designed by Gaudí has not gone unnoticed by BD which was the first company to rescue them from history by embarking on their serial production using...
