When Musical Furniture Start to be in Demand
Apparently, seeing the props in the usual plays and stage musicals are not mainly works of wild imagination. For renowned designer Tony Duquette who is best known for designing costumes, this has gone as far as marketing his home designs as well.
Among them include this Marsan chair which can be traced to the 1950’s. Antiques as you may categorize them, they can cost up to $4,400 along with a potential consideration of his designed chandelier offered for sale at about $20,000.00.
Baker is making the designer’s fanciful aesthetic available on a wider basis with the Selected Works of Tony Duquette, a 19-piece collection that includes reproductions of his furniture, lighting and accessories. The pieces range from the elegant, 18th century-inspired Marsan chair, designed in the 1950s for Duquette’s one-man show at the Louvre, to the wackily whimsical Abalone Chandelier. Duquette designed the original for a house in Los Angeles but liked it so much that he eventually bought it back and put it in his legendary Beverly Hills home, Dawnridge. This vision of golden-age glamour doesn’t come cheap — the chair is almost $4,400, the chandelier a little over $20,000 — but there’s a lot of stylistic bang for the buck.
