    V’SOSKE JOYCE RUG AT DE VERES SUMMER ART AND DESIGN SALE

    Thursday, July 18th, 2024

    HANDMADE FLOOR RUG, by V’SOSKE JOYCE, GALWAY. UPDATE: THIS MADE 900 AT HAMMER

    A large handmade floor rug by V’Soske Joyce, Galway from Cabinet Pinto, Paris is at de Veres summer online auction of more than 150 lots of art and design which runs until July 24. V’Soske Carpets was established over 70 years ago in Michigan, by a firm of artisans, producing beautiful high quality handmade carpets and tapestries to special order.  Plans to expand into the European market were realised when Vesta V’Soske had a chance encounter with two local entrepreneurs in Oughterard, Co. Galway. A collaboration with James Joyce and Burke Monaghan resulted in a factory in the name of V’Soske Joyce being established in Oughterard.  Here a team of skilled craftsmen practising the renowned V’Soske hand tufting technique has been operating ever since.  

    The company renamed the Dixon Carpet Company, when it was bought by Michael Dixon in 1979, only uses 100% pure new wool yarns which are chosen and dyed specially for each design.  All dyeing of the wool is carried out by the firm itself providing the control that makes possible the creation of more than four thousand shades of colour.   The company has provided rugs and carpets to many royal families and governments worldwide as well as many luxury hotels, including the Dorchester, the Ritz Paris and the Shelbourne in Dublin. This rug is estimated at €800-€1,200.

    ART MEETS FURNITURE AT DE VERES INTERNATIONAL DESIGN SALE

    Tuesday, April 9th, 2024

    THE NEW ORLEANS ARMCHAIR (1999), Pigmented polyester, gel coat and fiberglass UPDATE: THIS WAS UNSOLD

    Ron Arad first constructed the Big Easy chair in 1988. “I was thinking about an overstuffed club chair”. he said. It was among the first pieces of contemporary design added to NOMA’s decorative arts collection.” Arad later released this moulded-polyester version called NEW ORLEANS where he daubs colour inside a mould before pouring in the polyester, imprinting the chair with the element of painting, the effect combining art and sculpture to create something unique. This version comes up as lot 30 at de Veres International Art and Design Auction in Dublin on April 30. The chair is a powerful statement on volume and illusion and fully blurs the distinction between furniture and sculpture.

    The sale of  Irish art and design at de Veres on October 20 – highlighted by an iconic egg chair by Arne Jacobsen from 1958 – caters to a different taste. No matter. The  eclectic style now in vogue allows much mixing and matching in any interior. Classical pieces from different eras sit comfortably side by side in many stylish contemporary homes.  At de Veres there are chairs by Jacobsen, Mies van der Rohe, le Corbusier and the Norwegian Sigurd Ressell and a gilt metal table identical to one at Chanel’s apartment at 31 Rue Cambon. There are some highly collectible art pieces headed by Donald Teskey’s Cork Landscape (€20,000-€30,000) with work by Louis le Brocquy, Sean McSweeney, Martin Gales and 30 works from the studio of Reginald Grey, a portrait artist who was best man at Brendan Behan’s wedding.
