Garouste and Bonetti pieces up for auction

Wright auction house will sell commissioned neo-Baroque furnishings.

May 15, 2008

In 1995, the interior design team of Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti furnished a London residence with their visualizations of natural objects in luxurious materials. Sunday, the Wright auction house will offer 15 pieces from the commission, including this three-bulb chandelier, estimated to sell for $20,000 to $30,000. "The drama and magic of these pieces represent the best of the neo-Baroque design from the end of the 20th century," says Richard Wright, owner of the Chicago firm. Works by George Nakashima and Jean Prouve also will be offered. (312) 563-0020, www.wright20.com.
