Flavien Gaillard, Director of the department and Agathe de Bazin, Head of sale: “We are delighted with the fantastic results achieved tonight showing the relentless appetite for exceptional pieces, fresh to the market and in perfect condition such as the stunning collection commissioned to Jean Royère in 1962. These pieces remained in a Parisian apartment until today and we are pleased to have paid a beautiful tribute to Jean Royère’s emblematic work with 100% of sold lots. The very strong results achieved for the section dedicated to François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne confirm the continuous strong demand from collectors for their emblematic works”.

Other highlights included several works by François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne whom lyrical and poetic universe was recognised by international buyers throughout the sale.
