Join us on November 22nd at 9:00am PST for an auction celebrating midcentury modern and contemporary design. This collection traces a journey through France, from the hillsides of Provence to the ateliers of Paris, where each piece was sourced for its sculptural form, craftsmanship, and enduring character. Together, these works reveal how art and function unite across generations. From furniture and lighting to ceramics and decorative objects, each piece embodies a timeless pursuit of design that transcends geography and style.
