Modern Decorative Objects

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Marble Vase Decorative Sculpture White Arabescato Marble Handmade Italy

By Pieruga Marble, Barberini & Gunnell

Located in Ancona, Marche

Important sculptural vase carved by hand from a solid block of Arabescato marble. Vase dimension: D 52 x H 45 cm. Available in different marble, onyx and quartzite. Limited edition of 35. Each vase is hand signed and numbered by the artists (engraved), 100% handmade in Italy and comes with a “Certificate of Authenticity”. Marble is a natural material, every piece is unique as each marble block is different in veins and color shades. All of our creations are handmade by Italian artisans and can slightly vary in shape and size. This is to be considered as a guarantee of a handmade object. All Pieruga objects are made of precious and natural marbles and onyx. Marble is sensitive to acid-based liquids, especially a prolonged contact with substances such as wine, lemon, vinegar, fruit juices, cola and alcohol can stain the surface. Cleaning should be carried out with a soft sponge, water and neutral detergent. Do not use metallic or abrasive sponges, do not wash in the dishwasher, do not use in the microwave. The color of the marble after washing can undergo variations due to the humidity trapped in the surface’s micro-pores. Once fully dried it will regain its original color. The brass inlays tend to oxidize over time, to make them return to shine again use a soft cotton pad soaked in a solution of water and traditional Marseille soap, gently rub over the brass inserts and rinse the surface thoroughly. We are against the use of chemical products, all Pieruga objects are processed and polished through long manual processes without the use of polishing liquids. Pieruga proudly creates elegant accessories and complements in marble through artisanal processes, bringing into dialogue ancient techniques of sculpture with advanced technologies. 100% handmade in Italy. Our Mission is a clear Signal of opposition to the enormous waste that occurs in the extraction and processing of large blocks of marble, tons of material are discarded and thrown, in disfigurement to the generosity of our mountains. Rediscovering the ancient art of manual sculpture we give new life to even the smallest fragment of marble, bringing to light its millenary beauty that is lost in more than 2000 years of architecture and sculpture.

Victor Salmones “By the Sea” Bronze Figurative Sculpture, Latin American Art

Victor Salmones “By the Sea” Bronze Figurative Sculpture, Latin American Art

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A powerful and expressive limited-edition bronze sculpture titled “By the Sea” by renowned Mexican sculptor Victor Salmones, celebrated for his dynamic figurative works that merge modernist abstraction with classical human form. This striking sculpture portrays a reclining female figure captured in a dramatic suspended pose, balancing gracefully on extended arms and legs. The composition creates a captivating sense of movement and tension, emphasizing both strength and elegance in the human form. Salmones’ distinctive sculptural language is evident throughout the piece. The figure is modeled with expressive textural surfaces and fluid anatomical lines, giving the work a raw, tactile quality that contrasts beautifully with the polished presentation of its base. The sculpture rests on a clear Lucite plinth, elevating the figure visually while creating the illusion that the form is floating within space—an effect that makes the piece particularly compelling when displayed on a console, pedestal, or coffee table in contemporary interiors. The underside of the sculpture is signed and numbered by the artist and marked: Victor Salmones 5/10 confirming that the piece is number 5 from a limited edition of only ten casts. It is accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by the artist. Works by Victor Salmones are highly sought after by collectors of Mexican modern sculpture...
