Pair of 1940 iron tripod table lamps by Jean-Michel Frank for Bustillo
-
Description
37cm high x 27.5cm wide x 27.5cm deep
Made for Alejandro Bustillo, the architect whom Jean-Michel Frank worked with to produce furniture for the famous Llao Llao Hotel in Patagonia, Argentina during the 1930s.
These exceptional table lamps demonstrate Jean-Michel Franks mastery of perfectly balanced minimalist lines, with their tapered legs, exquisite texture and precise detailing. Executed by Comte in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Comte was founded in the 1930s by Jean-Michel Frank in collaboration with leading Argentinean architects to produce his exacting designs. JMF's design has been much imitated, however nothing compares to the quality and feel of the real thing.
Together with a certificate of authenticity from the Comité Jean-Michel Frank, Paris
Jean-Michel Frank. 1895-1941
Working in Paris, New York and Argentina, Jean-Michel Frank designed subtle, exquisitely proportioned furniture and lighting for sophisticated interiors. His elite roster of patrons included the vicomte Charles de Noailles, the businessman and politician Nelson A. Rockefeller, the couturier Elsa Schiaparelli and the perfumer Guerlain, among many others. Against the backdrop of the interwar period, Frank designed calm, subdued interiors that offered refuge from the chaotic world. His furniture, which was often clad in vellum, bleached leather or shagreen, featured clean lines and served to complement the art collections of his clients, which included works by Picasso, Léger and Matisse. - More Information
