Armchair model "Leda" By Salvador Dalí Spanish surrealist 20th century design
By BD Barcelona Design, Salvador Dalí
Located in Barcelona, ES
Armchair model "Leda"
Structure in polished cast brass varnish.
Salvador Dali
Taken from “Femme à tête de roses" (1935)” 1935 (Woman with a head of roses). It was sufficient for this sculpture to be made as a three dimensional piece, remaining faithful to every detail in Dalí’s painting.
Dalí affirmed: “A chair can be used even to sit on, but only on one condition: That we sit uncomfortably.” We can sit on the Leda, but due to the fact that it only has three legs and that the chair is heavy, it being made of solid brass, is more a work of art than a functional piece of furniture.

Salvador Dalí is the most versatile and prolific artists of the 20th century and the most famous Surrealist. Though chiefly remembered for his painterly output, in the course of his long career he successfully turned to sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing, filmmaking and design.
Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents.
In the Paris of the 1930s, Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends working in the application of art to a number of varied disciplines, beyond the study of purely pictorial art. One of these, Jean-Michel Frank, an acclaimed furniture designer and decorator in Paris at that time, got on extremely well with Dalí, and together they developed a number of ideas. One example of this is the Bracelli lamp, a classic design in Jean-Michel’s manner of designing and working that Dalí adopted for his home in Portlligat.
Among Dalí’s projects, which add to his CV as a designer, are the garden furniture for his home in Portlligat, the complete architecture of the Night Club (in the shape of a hedgehog) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and a project for a bar in California in the 1940s.
His creations were not limited to traditional furniture elements, but included taps, handles, knobs, prints and objects of indeterminate use. In 1933, Dalí even registered the patent for the design of a bench as an outdoor seat. In the 1990s, a team of experts led by Oscar Tusquets set out to bring to life the furniture that Dalí had sketched for Jean-Michel Frank, including the Leda chair and low table taken from the 1935 painting “Femme...

A Large Chinese Ming Dynasty Polychrome Porcelain Dish, circa 1620
Located in London, GB
A large Chinese Ming Dynasty polychrome porcelain dish, circa 1620.
Late Ming Dynasty.
Painted in turquoise, black and red enamels with a central 'Split Pagoda' pattern scene, the cavetto with four landscape vignettes alternating with stylised seals.
Many Mid-Century studio potters were inspired by the shapes and designs of ancient Chinese and Ming pottery.
We believe this dish is a good example of this, which is why it will fit with both antique and modern interiors, making it the perfect cross-collecting piece.

Brass coffee table model "Leda" by Salvador Dalí 20th Century surrealist design
By BD Barcelona Design, Salvador Dalí
Located in Barcelona, ES
During the ‘thirties in Paris, Salvador Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends involved in the application of art to varied disciplines, above and beyond the study of pure pictorial art. Jean-Michel Frank, a furniture maker and decorator of recognized prestige in the Paris of those years, was on very good terms with Dalí and together they worked on several ideas. The Bracelli lamp which we present here is a classic design after Jean-Michel’s manner of designing and working, adopted by Dalí for his house at Portlligat. Amongst Dalí ’s specific furnishing projects, and constituting another for his curriculum vitae as a designer, may be counted the garden furnishings for his Portlligat house, the complete architecture of the Night Club (garotte-shaped) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and another project for a bar in California in the ‘forties. As shown by the small selection now produced and included in this catalogue, Dalí ’s work was not restrictes to the traditional furnishing elements, but included tap fittings, handles, door-pulls, printed fabrics and objets of indeterminate use. In the 1990s a group of experts, led by Oscar Tusquets, set themselves the task of turning the furniture Dalí had drawn for Jean-Michel Frank into reality. Amongst these items were the Leda chair...

Early 20th Century Chinese Wooden Rice Measure with Copper Fittings
Located in Auribeau sur Siagne, FR
Early 20th Century Chinese Wooden Rice Measure with Copper Fittings – Collectible with Rich Patina
Description:
This authentic Chinese rice measure, crafted in wood with copper and blackened metal fittings, dates from the early 20th century and was traditionally used for measuring and transporting rice. Featuring hand-assembled wooden planks joined with metal corner reinforcements, this piece displays a rich brown patina that testifies to its age and use. A functional tool of rural Chinese life, it now stands as a beautiful decorative object or collector's piece, ideal for adding authentic character and cultural depth to an interior.
Key features include:
Traditional Chinese Craftsmanship: Constructed with fine wooden planks, joined and stabilized with blackened metal brackets and copper fittings, this measure showcases practical design rooted in vernacular tradition.
Warm Natural Patina: The deep brown wood tones and aged copper highlights reveal a beautiful oxidation and surface wear, offering an aesthetic of timeworn authenticity.
Early 20th Century Origin: Made in China in the early 1900s, this piece reflects a period when such tools were essential daily implements—now repurposed as vintage decor.
Versatile Decorative Use: Perfect as a sculptural centerpiece, storage box, or planter base, it adds texture and history to both rustic and modern interiors.
Collector’s Appeal: A sought-after item for collectors of antique Asian objects, particularly those interested in domestic cultural heritage pieces.
Solid & Sculptural Form: With its boxy shape and visible joinery, the piece feels both grounded and graphic, bringing architectural strength to its setting.
This Chinese rice measure is more than a historic vessel—it’s a symbol of cultural heritage, honest craftsmanship, and functional beauty, ready to enrich contemporary spaces with vintage soul.
