Pair of Marcel Kammerer chairs for Thonet c. 1910
Like Josef Hoffmann, Marcel Kammerer (1878-1959) was a student of Otto Wagner, a leading member of the Vienna Secession and an important predecessor to modern architecture and design.
One of Wagner's most famous works was the Österreichische Postsparkasse in Vienna. Although every part of the building was made under Wagner's name, it is now generally assumed that the furnishings were designed by his student, Marcel Kammerer, under the supervision of Wagner.
Unusual in the cinnabar red stain. When these rare chairs show up, they’re generally in the dark brown color way.
Both chairs are marked Thonet under the seat.
Excellent condition. Reupholstered in a beautiful brick red linen and cotton fabric imported from France to match the original.
Measurements: 21” width, 20” depth, 29.25” height, 17.25” seat height

Frederic Mares Deulovol (1893-1991) patinated bronze gazelle doe.
Base signed in the casting: F. Mares; with impressed foundry mark: Fundicion R. Vila / Valls (Tarragona).
Bronze base has been removed for photography and because we feel the doe stands more beautifully in a room without it, though it could be simply placed back on matching bronze base if desired.
This doe comes form a California estate where it was kept outdoors, partially covered. The resulting patina and verdigris is beautiful and reminiscent of a Pat Steir painting. The bronze is beautifully sculpted with incredible, life-like details, from the slight movement of the tail to the deep gaze of the eyes.
Measurements: 52" H x 46" W x 11.5" D
