Combining two of the most important names in French decorative arts of the early twentieth century, this rare lamp embodies the extraordinary level of artistic craftsmanship achieved during the golden age of French Art Deco. The work unites Edgar Brandt's masterful wrought iron artistry with Daum Nancy's renowned artistic glass production, resulting in a harmonious composition where metal and glass interact seamlessly.

Hermès Paris Two-Tone Horse Head Letter Opener Ruler, France circa 1955
Located in BARCELONA, ES
A rare and highly collectible equestrian desk accessory produced by Hermès Paris, France, circa 1955.
Combining the functionality of a letter opener and ruler, this elegant object is distinguished by its striking two-tone design, featuring a sculptural silver-toned horse head mounted on a contrasting gilt-metal body. The interplay between the two finishes creates a sophisticated visual contrast, enhancing the sculptural character of the piece while reflecting the refined craftsmanship associated with Hermès.
Executed by the renowned French silversmith Ravinet d'Enfert and marked Hermès Paris, this desk accessory embodies the timeless elegance and attention to detail that have defined the French luxury house for generations. The horse head is modelled with remarkable expressiveness, showcasing finely rendered features, flowing mane details, and a dynamic presence that immediately evokes the maison’s celebrated equestrian heritage.
Founded in Paris in 1837 as a harness and saddlery workshop, Hermès has maintained a deep connection to the world of horsemanship throughout its history. This letter opener is a particularly appealing example of that tradition, transforming an everyday object into a sculptural and highly decorative work of functional design.

Vintage Murano Glass Table Clock by Barovier & Toso, Italy, 1950s
Located in BARCELONA, ES
Exceptional Murano glass table clock produced by Barovier & Toso in Italy during the 1950s–1960s.
The piece is composed of a substantial circular ring of hand-blown Murano glass executed in filigrana technique, featuring an internal white lattimo decoration arranged in a continuous helical pattern. This sculptural glass frame surrounds a circular clock face mounted on a smoked glass support with a finely detailed gilt-metal structure and stand.
The remarkable purity and optical dynamism of the glass reflect the refined Venetian craftsmanship associated with mid-century Murano production. Both decorative and architectural in presence, the clock embodies the elegant balance between sculpture and functional design characteristic of Italian glassmaking of the period.
The restrained silvered dial with minimalist Arabic numerals and delicate gilt hands contrasts beautifully with the expressive movement of the surrounding glass, creating a highly sophisticated modernist composition.
Founded in 1936 through the merger of Vetreria Artistica Barovier and Ferro Toso, Barovier & Toso became one of the most important Murano glass manufacturers of the 20th century. Under the artistic direction of Ercole Barovier, the company developed some of the most celebrated Venetian glass techniques and designs, including Crepuscolo, Brillantati, Zebrati, Acanto and the iconic Cordonato d’Oro series.
A rare and highly decorative example of Italian mid-century Murano artistry.

Pair of Italian Sterling Silver and Enamel Clown Figures by Sorini
Located in BARCELONA, ES
Expressive pair of Italian sterling silver clown figures by Sorini, Arezzo, late 20th century.
Crafted in solid sterling silver with vivid polychrome enamel decoration, the composition depicts two highly theatrical circus clowns rendered with exaggerated proportions and animated gestures. One figure balances a miniature unicycle while the second presents a stylized flower connected by an elegant silver wire element, creating a playful interaction between the two sculptures.
The figures exemplify the whimsical and technically refined silver production associated with the Tuscan silversmithing tradition of Arezzo during the second half of the 20th century. Their sculptural modeling, bright enamel palette, and humorous character place them within a broader lineage of collectible Italian decorative silver objects that merged craftsmanship with postmodern fantasy aesthetics.
Both figures are marked “925” with Italian assay marks and retain engraved Sorini signatures to the reverse.
A charming and unusual decorative ensemble, ideal for collectors of Italian silver, circus memorabilia...
