Standing over 15 feet (4.6 meters) tall, this ornate gas lamp was a masterpiece of Victorian industrial art created by David Watson Stevenson for Glasgow's Saracen Foundry. Known as the "Big Lamp," it featured four globes and intricate cast-iron detailing topped with a decorative crown. Briefly installed at Charing Cross in 1888, this landmark was later removed and sold, leaving this photograph as one of the few surviving records of Glasgow's lost street architecture.
Commissioned around 1930 by Madame Philippe Bertholet for her home at 13 boulevard des Invalides, this Art Deco bed by Jean Dunand in black lacquer features a delicate motif of water lilies and golden fish, reflecting the artist’s exquisite craftsmanship and poetic refinement.
