LDN - Sitting comfortably? A rediscovery for you: this is French designer
#MarcelCoard's previously unrecorded Gondola Canapé from c.1925, which is
#OnView alongside
#EmotionalOrder ahead of our
#Design sale at the end of April. This sofa is identical to a piece previously in the fabled collection of couturier
#JacquesDoucet - a piece that is now in the permanent collection of the vmfamuseum. Fun story: the sofa was discovered when it was taken to a small local furniture restorer in the Netherlands, who recognised Coard's name stamped on the underside of the piece, and looked it up. See it at
#PhillipsBSQ today and tomorrow, and then again from April 22. 🙏🏻
