Cordelia Lembo, Head of Design, New York, said, It was wonderful to conclude Phillips’ 2023 Design sales with an auction that captured the strength of the Design market across all levels and historical movements. From Jean Dunand’s pair of monumental vases, circa 1913, which led the sale at $685,800, to Claude Lalanne’s Crococurule” – the auction represented the true breadth and depth of collectors’ interests. We look forward to the momentum we have achieved this year across our sales in New York and London carrying into the new year.”
