"The brand Ars Lenci was founded in Turin, 1919, by Ernesto and Helen König Scavini, who blended an eye for commerce with a sensibility for decorative art. Lenci’s artisan workshop enlisted talented local artists to produce a variety of elegantly decorative products that found immediate appeal both in Italy and abroad. The stylish figures for which the firm became celebrated were unveiled at the International exhibition, Turin, 1928, and by the following year their appreciation had been sealed by exposure at Callows Gallery, London and in Milan at Galleria Pesaro. Furthermore, the firm’s production was favourably reviewed by influential magazines, including Casabella and Domus. During this period, Lenci ceramics were popular not only amongst the critics, but were also a tremendous commercial success, echoing the optimistic spirit of the society of that time. The figures designed by Helen König Scavini record a contemporaneous interpretation of femininity that was both effortless and carefree. La Modista- Il cappellino (lot 150), Me ne infischio (lot 149) and Colpo di Vento (lot 152) take as their cue the fashion styles published in Vogue magazine. Lenci attracted further critical acclaim through their decision to appoint artists and sculptors, such as Mario Sturani (Lot 153) and Sandro Vecchietti (lot 154), to create works that offered sensuality tinted with surrealism."

Located in Montreal, QC
This large double side Welder's Mask Sign hung outside a iron mongers work shop boldly visible for the coming and going. Supported by heavy chains the mask sign was eerie and a bit sinister and not for the faint hearted. The banging and trunking of metal being forged into their desired shapes, along with sparks flying through the soot filled air. You only dared to enter if you were ready to conduct business in the creation of your project.
