Rare and top-class glass objects, works of art and furniture can be found in the Art Nouveau - Art Deco selection in the auction on December 4.

As always, glass dominates the offer, led by a rare teardrop-shaped vase by Emile Gallé depicting a few delicate snowdrops in a snowy landscape. The rare piece from 1902-04, with entirely wheel-cut decoration, will be called for a limit of EUR 10,000. In the furniture section, a rare console table by Carlo Bugatti stands out. The model on four structured legs with two tiers and carved and inlaid decorations in his typical Moorish style was presented at the First International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Arts in Turin in 1902. For EUR 25-28,000, it should arouse the interest of collectors.

Of even greater rarity is the watercolor 'The Rich Man and Poor Lazarus' by Carl Strathmann, c. 1895. Here, the artist quotes the Gospel of Luke (16:19-21) and uses late medieval and Renaissance styles, setting the scene of Lazarus asking for alms with the rich man dressed in sumptuous robes and accompanied by a dark-skinned servant in front of architecture bordered with trees. The rich man's robe is lavishly decorated with gold to emphasize the contrast with Lazarus' dark, simple clothing. A hilly, sunny ideal landscape can be seen in the background. The painting is privately owned in Munich and has not been on public display since the exhibition ‚Grotesker Jugendstil’ at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn in 1976. 28,000 EURO should be allowed for this work of art.

We are also particularly pleased about the portrait 'Eugenie Perrot' by Rudolf Schlichter, 1934. The portrait shows a middle-aged lady with her dark hair tied back, neatly dressed in a red and white checkered blouse and adorned with detailed accessories, sitting in a green patterned wing chair. With her upper body leaning relaxedly into the furniture and her hands resting calmly on top of each other, she looks directly at the viewer, although her face is turned slightly to her right. The painting was presented as a loan in two solo exhibitions about Schlichter and is now available on the art market for the first time. The painting has always been in the same private collection and is now available for an estimate of EUR 18,000 - 25,000.

These and other rare works can be viewed at our premises in Munich from November 28.
