Gio Ponti for Richard Ginori Le Mie Donne Plate 1937
By Richard Ginori, Gio Ponti
Located in Hanover, MA
Gio Ponti for Richard Ginori Le Mie Donne in gold on scalloped edge white porcelain plate. marked and numbered on bottom.
Le Mie Donne is the first family of decorations designed by Giò Ponti. Ponti made important alterations to the Le Mie Donne series over the years, having the designs applied to piattelle (wall plates) and large and small jar-shaped and oval vases. With the aim of proposing a style that would suit Parisian tastes, on the occasion of the Exposition Nationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in 1925, Ponti tried to blend the revival of classicism with Art Deco. The Le Mie Donne series consists of three compositions: Women on clouds, Women among ropes and Women on flowers. The women on clouds were the first of these to be designed and presented in the form of samples at the exhibition in Monza in 1923. The designs for this series are composed of sketches of buildings...

Pair Streamline Modern Chests by Leo Jiranek
By Donald Deskey, Leo Jiranek
Located in Hanover, MA
Pair of 1938 vintage American Modern streamline art deco chests of drawers designed by Leo Jiranek and possibly manufactured by J.B. Van Sciver Co. of Camden, NJ. Unsigned.
The design is bookended as each chest has a corresponding rounded vertical corner with waterfall edge, four drawers with chrome backplates and elongated lacquered horizontal pulls aligned to convey the Art Deco dynamics of speed and forward motion.
So strong is the design that it is not necessary to place them side by side. They speak to one another from across a room and would make great bedside chests as well.
The tops, horizontal pulls and base are lacquered black and have been freshly restored.
The primavera wood cases and drawer faces have a highly polished and figural grained veneer.
Drawers are clean and open and close as they ought.
This specific design is often attributed to Donald Deskey which is understandable since Jiranek and Deskey were close associates and together in 1934 they formed AMODEC, Inc. for the manufacture and promotion of their own modern furniture designs.
LEO A. JIRANEK (b. 1900 d. 1990) was known as the ''Dean of Furniture Designers," one of the Industry's first, and unrepentant freelancers, who enjoyed 67 years in the business.He studied engineering at Princeton University where he graduated in 1922. Throughout his career, Jiranek contributed to more furniture companies than any other known designer, among them Magnavox, Thomasville, Ethan Allen, Kroehler, Heywood Wakefield, The Lane Co...
