About the Item

Damascus mother of pearl inlaid wooden chest of drawers. With five drawers. The wood is profusely decorated throughout with mother of pearl and shell in intricate floral and geometric designs along the front. Similar floral and vine motifs carry over to the sides. With two painted porcelain knob handles to each drawer. Provenance: From the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher, Osceola, Wisconsin. Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients, was a pioneer in the field of safe and eco-friendly cosmetics. The same curiosity that led him to explore ways to improve the beauty industry led him to travel the world, collecting rare and beautiful objects as he went. This sale features selections from that lifetime of eclectic and inspired collecting, including furniture by Carlo Bugatti, Gabriel Viardot, and Josef Hoffman; artworks by artists ranging from Old Masters to Salvador Dali to Arman; an impressive collection of Indian sculptures; and much more.
