French furniture from the first half of the 20th century — whether Art Deco or 1950s pieces — has never been so sought after. That’s why examples are turning up in the “Important 20th-Century Design” sale on Sunday at the Wright auction house in Chicago, and in New York sales on Thursday at Phillips, de Pury & Company, on June 5 at Christie’s and on June 19 at Sotheby’s.
Nonetheless, Maison Gerard, a Greenwich Village gallery at 53 East 10th Street specializing in 20th-century French furniture, caused a stir last week when it opened an eclectic show of 35 French antiques from the 1940s.
