Lot 498
after EMILIO TERRY (French/Cuban 1890-1960) A PLASTER AND GLASS CONSOLE TABLE BY SIRMOS, CIRCA 1970, with a beveled rectangular glass top on a realistically modeled bone white plaster pedestal simulating stacked jagged quarry rocks, raised on a painted rectangular wood plinth. Height: 31 3/4" Width: 54 1/4" Depth: 19" Note: Parisian born Emilio R. Terry y Sanchez was of distinguished Cuban-Irish ancestry and whose family's great fortune primarily originated in Cuban sugar plantations. His family owned the historic Château de Chenonceau as well as other residences and he himself owned another important home, the historic registered hotel particulier at 2, Place du Palais Bourbon. This was to influence his work which included architecture both interior and exterior, furniture, objets d'art, textiles and landscape architecture. The list of his friends and acquaintances reads like a whose who from the worlds of of noble families, artists, designers, multi millionaires and French society. His living in this rarefied world were an obvious inspiration for his sophisticated designs and led to a style which he called the Louis XVII - a more late 18th century French neoclassical blend with earlier classical Baroque and Palladio successfully brought into 20th century modernism. A perfect example of this is the pair of marble topped plaster rock form console tables he designed for the 18th century foyer of the Château de Clavary in 1927. These consoles are the obvious inspiration for the present lot which was made by Sirmos in the early 1970s.
