Lobby Cards were designed for display in a cinema lobby to lure the movie-going public. Typically released in sets of 8, each card depicted a different scene from the film. This charming US lobby card for 'Breakfast At Tiffany's,' number 7 of the set, depicts Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly and George Peppard as Paul Varjak sipping coffee against a backdrop of Manhattan. Featuring a miniature version of Robert McGinnis' iconic artwork used for the US insert, the lobby cards offer a bit of Tiffany's magic at a more affordable price point than the larger and highly sought after US Campaign posters. Holly Golightly would be Audrey Hepburn’s defining role, establishing her status as one of the greatest screen legends and style icons of all time. It seems unbelievable now that Truman Capote, author of the novella on which the movie was based, had his heart set on Marilyn Monroe for the part. Monroe pulled out of the running when her acting coach advised her not to play a lady of the night...

Capote, Truman. Breakfast at Tiffany's: A short novel and three stories. New York: Random House, 1958. First edition, first issue printing. Signed by Truman Capote. In the original publisher’s orange first issue dust jacket and yellow cloth binding. Presented with an archival clamshell case. This is a signed, first edition, first issue of Truman Capote's classic novella chronicling the adventures of the free-spirited Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's. In addition to the title novella, the book also includes three other short stories: House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar, and A Christmas Memory. The book is issued its first issue dust jacket with the 10/58 date code one the front flap. "First Printing" is stated on the copyright page and the book signed by the author “Truman Capote” on the front flyleaf. Capote originally sold his story Breakfast at Tiffany's to Harper's Bazaar for $2,000, with intended publication in its July 1958 issue. Shortly after the publication was scheduled, Harper's editor Carmel Snow was ousted by the magazine's publisher, the Hearst Corporation, and Hearst executives began asking for changes to the novella's language as there was concern that Tiffany's & Co., a major advertiser, would react negatively. The story was removed from the Harper’s Bazzar publication schedule but Capote soon resold the work to Esquire for $3,000. His novella appeared in Esquire’s November 1958 issue. A collection of the Breakfast at Tiffany’s novella and three short stories by Capote was published by Random House in the same year. The novella received glowing reviews. "If you want to capture a period in New York, no other book has done it so well. He could capture a period and place like few others" (Norman Mailer). The novella was quickly adapted for the 1961 hit film starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. Truman Capote was born in New Orleans and educated in New York and Connecticut. He worked in the Art Department of The New Yorker and as a writer on a television show before going on his own as a full-time writer. His first novel at age 24, Other Voices, Other Rooms, brought him literary fame and a strong following, which continued throughout his life, reaching a peak with the success of his "nonfiction” true...

This is a very unique table lamp with a nice shade of green glaze. Its a higher piece than usual. This is a real lamp not a vase that was transformed later. You can see the glaze around the cable hole on the detail picture. A signature under the base. Made by hand by Master ceramicist Eva Stæhr-Nielsen at famous Danish Saxbo atelier. The lamp shade (34.4 x H24.2cm) received a new white stripped cotton (by Audrey). The feet (34 x 13cm diameter) was professionally cleaned by a craftsman (her name is Sophie). Eva Stæhr-Nielsen a grandi dans un environnement créatif. Le père, qui était le fils d'un propriétaire terrien et avait une formation de libraire, a organisé certains des premiers voyages touristiques au Danemark et est devenu plus tard le chef de l'agence de voyage danoise. L'oncle était le peintre Johannes Wilhjelm. Sa mère a été l'une des premières femmes à fréquenter l'école d'art pour femmes de l'Académie des arts, mais elle n'a pas travaillé comme artiste après son mariage. Eva Stæhr-Nielsen a su très tôt qu'elle voulait être céramiste, mais ses parents pensaient qu'elle devrait passer un examen de fin d'études, et c'est pourquoi elle est venue à l'école Marie Kruse. Cependant, elle n'a pas terminé et en 1930, elle est entrée à la nouvelle école des artisans, située dans le pavillon du Musée d'art et d'industrie. Ici, elle a rencontré le professeur central de la classe de céramique, le sculpteur de 15 ans Olaf S-N., qui a eu une grande influence sur sa vie et son développement artistique. Ils se sont mariés en 1935 et au fil des ans ont eu une vie fructueuse avec une inspiration mutuelle. En 1932, Eva Stæhr-Nielsen entre dans l'atelier Saxbo de Nathalie Krebs, un atelier devenu leader non seulement au Danemark, mais dans toute l'Europe dans la production de grès...

Thank-you for looking. Title: Rare Vintage Hermes Blue and Gold Silk Astronomy Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow Description: The ‘crème de la crème’ of scarves, this beauty is a one-of-a-kind custom made luxury cushion (pillow) from an exquisite and rare vintage silk mythological themed Hermes fashion scarf designed by Philippe Ledoux, who has created many beautiful ‘carrés' for the Maison Hermes. First issued in 1964 the ‘Cosmos’ print has been re-issued several times. Here it is in a harmonious colour way of varying shades of blue crowned with illustrations in lavish antique gold. The mythological design depicts Phoebus, also known as Apollo, the god of sun and light, gallantly riding his chariot across the sky, making the sun rise and set across the universe. In all four corners of this print, he is seen charging from the heavens, from two different angles of perspective, with his chariot and horses galloping on a seemingly weightless cloud upon elegant scrolling golden leaves. The busy picture features ornamental details and architectural Renaissance motifs, spiralling and curling, connected by intricate and interlacing decorative ribbons and topped with striking stars. Scattered across the surface are smaller subtle twinkling stars adding to the magic and alluding to a midnight theme. Note the iconic ‘Hermes Paris’ proudly running long the bottom centre also in gold, the artist’s signature ‘Ledoux’ nearby on the bottom right hadn’t corner, and another ‘C Hermes’ in the top right hand corner, the ‘C’ for copyright being found on Hermes earlier...

Gaining notability for her unique idea and creations back in 2013 - featured in the likes of the Financial Times, and first selling here on 1stdibs in 2016 - our creations are of the absolute top most quality, craftsmanship and finesse. Thank-you for looking. Title: Vintage Hermes Equestrian Silk Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow The ‘crème de la crème’ of scarves, this beauty is a one-of-a-kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk Hermes fashion scarf in their festive ‘Les Rubans Du Cheval’ equestrian pattern by Joachim Metz in 1988. A variety of elaborate ribbon rosettes in vibrant, colourful hues - an ornament made of pleated material, gathered so as to resemble a rose and worn as a decorative badge to show ranking in a competition. The French company began in 1837 producing superior quality leather goods, harnesses and saddles, which makes sense that 100 years later the main theme on their luxury scarves is equestrian. Hermes scarves, known as ‘carre’ (squares), have become a symbol of French chic and are a highly desirable object across the globe that still continues to delight. Favoured by the ‘jet-setters’ of the 50s and 60s and gaining iconic status by Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and this particular elegant design even worn by Queen Elizabeth II. The name of the print along with the brand’s signature proudly features in the centre. The attractive equestrian design is a delicately detailed illustration of bridal equipment with buckles, leather straps, feminine mermaids holding up functional hoops and lions holding crests on other sections of the metal hardware adorning the elaborate piece. It features a display of two equestrian horse bride dressings symmetrical like a mirror image of each other. In a dramatic, busy picture of multicoloured ribbon colour way on a quality sumptuous twill silk with a beautiful texture. It was made using the ‘Lyonnaise technique’ silk screen process with each of it’s 13 frames traditional laid one by one by hand (the more complex patterns can go out to 42). Before being carefully unravelled to create our cushion, the edge was delicately hand rolled and hemmed, a distinctive French style finish of all Hermes scarves. We also have a couple of other similar stunning Hermes scarf cushions...
