New to the showroom floor! A pair of 18th century French Louis XV armoires from Lyon. Rich Walnut construction with touches of burl accents, features a molded crown and hand-carved frieze with central carvings depicting a floral basket and lovebirds, flanked by a motif of floral vines. Two elaborately paneled doors are framed by carved fluted details and beaded trim, with hand-wrought Iron cathedral hinges and elegant pierced escutcheons. Doors open to reveal a shelved interior with two long and one short drawer. The armoires stand on short cabriole legs with carved, scrolling aprons.

Together, these 18th-century French armoires reflect the enduring French tradition of marrying practical utility with refined design. Their subtle differences speak to the beauty of handcraftsmanship, where no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Each measures approximately 70” at widest, 25” deep and 100” high overall. Priced $14,500 for the pair

Photographed with a pair of 18th century Louis XVI Period French fauteuils by Bosson, Paris. Fruitwood frames with upholstered seats and backs, marked "Bosson" at seats. Each measures 35 1/2" high. Priced $1,650 for the pair.

In the winter of 1940, three painters spread cheap canvas across a studio floor and began dripping lacquer onto it. The studio belonged to Gerome Kamrowski.

The others were William Baziotes and Jackson Po***ck. Kamrowski called it "fooling around." One canvas from that winter survives.

He went on to teach at the University of Michigan and paint in Ann Arbor for more than fifty years, while his work was shown at the Whitney, MoMA and the Detroit Institute of Arts.

This November it comes to Ypsilanti — much of it unseen publicly in decades.
