4 Casa de Memoria auction pieces to add drama to your home
The
Casa de Memoria lifestyle provides an opportunity to avail of select pieces on
auction that adds depth to character for any home. Four distinct pieces call to
us as we prepared the catalogue. This anniversary auction supports the
construction of the emergency quarantine facility (EQF) at Sta. Ana Hospital,
Manila.
Inspired
by the Grey Room at the Palacio is an ebonized and ormolu-embellished commode,
with pietradura vegetal elements in Napoleon III style (Lot 011). From late
19th century France, this Napoleon III Pietra Dura Commode is one of the most
outstanding items for Segundo. To complete the look are a set of Carlos IV
chairs (Lot 020). These six Neoclassical side chairs are carved, painted, and
gilded beech with provenance from late 19th century Spain.
The
team highly recommends a Spanish neoclassical sofa (Lot 019) carved and
prepared in gilded beech. This reproduction, following one in the Palacio del
Nuncio in Aranjuez, is embellished with églomisé, reverse paintings on glass.
The
settee is complete with a Miguel Stuyck wool carpet dating from 1922 (Lot 056).
Stuyck traces his legacy ten generations back to the Belgian national Jacobo Vandergotten,
with whom King Philip V tasked the creation of Spain's first carpet factory in
1720, the Real Fabrica de Tapices.
Casa de Memoria’s Segundo Auction will be held on May 31, 2020 at
Palacio de Memoria, 95 Roxas Boulevard, Brgy. Tambo, Paranaque City. Online
