Specialist note


Another example of the present lot was notably exhibited at the XXI Biennale, Venice, in 1938. The present lot is a rare example of the model executed in martellato glass, a technique which involved the gentle hammering of on the glass whilst still malleable, crating soft curves on the frame’s surface.
