About the Item
Emilio Terry -- architect, interior, and furniture designer -- was the inventor and sole-practitioner of what was drolly referred to as his “Louis XVII style.” There was in fact no such style, since the future Louis XVII died in prison, thanks to the Revolution, Heir to a Cuban sugar fortune, Terry didn’t need to make a living by catering to the prevailing taste for the moderne style, which allowed him to work in various historically based styles freely interpreted. Yet he didn’t lack for commissions from traditionalists and modernists alike, including Vicomte Jean-Charles de Noailles, Carlos de Beistegui, Stavros Niarchos, and the decorator Jean-Michel Frank, for whom he designed a furniture line. Among his admirers was Alfred Barr, director of the Museum of Modern Art, who included Terry’s work in his 1936 exhibition "Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism."
This pen-and-ink sketch of a bed on architect’s tracing paper has a splendid agitation. Suffocating under bolts of draped fabric, the supports are in the form of fasces -- a bundle of rods with an ax -- that been, since the days of ancient Rome, a symbol of the people's power in a republic. This drawing is now in a mat and a circa 1800 French giltwood frame.

French Trompe L'oeil Drawing Circa 1800
Located in New York, NY
This trompe l'oeil drawing depicts the artist's tools -- a black and a red crayon, and a folding steel ruler that was painted with silver pigments, which have blackened with age. They're shown on a sheaf of papers that include a medieval manuscript page, a musical score, and a group of prints.
The unifying theme is the artistic patronage of the Medici, the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, who intermarried with the Habsburgs, who were the Holy Roman Emperors.
Among the papers are prints by Stefano Della Bella, the Florentine artist who worked for the Medici. They depict a negro page with a horse, and portraits of Lorenzo Lippi...

Small Painting by Jean Hugo from 1927
By Jean Hugo
Located in New York, NY
Great grandson of the famous writer Victor Hugo, the painter Jean Hugo (1894-1984) was in the thick of the Paris art scene between the wars. A member of the avant garde, he was a friend of Picasso, Cocteau and Colette and was associated with the Neo Romantics. His small gouaches on paper were avidly collected by Dr. Albert Barnes, and can be seen today in the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. Hugo's most desirable work -- landscapes, interior scenes, set designs -- date from the mid 1920s to the late 1930s. This whimsical painting, signed and dated 1927, is set in a curtained, classical interior furnished with Victorian lighting fixtures...
