Gifts of prestige for christmas
Christmas is near and Casa de Memoria offers the perfect gift for those who are near and dear to you. Unique art pieces and home décor at Cuarto, its fourth auction for the year, will be up for auction on Nov. 28 at 2 p.m.
Cuarto offers a total of 180 European-Filipino antiquities and objets d’art that will surely make the recipients of these gifts very happy this Christmas.
I attended the virtual press conference and desired several pieces! Among my favorites are the beautiful silver tobacco box formerly owned by Spanish statesman Don José Antonio Girón de Velasco, the Napoleon III-style radiogram with 1950s radio and "Philips" mono record player, the ivory triptych depicting England’s “Glorious Revolution of 1688,” and the Vermeil tea and coffee set by Joyerías Aldao.
Cuarto will feature European art pieces with Asian influences, such as the 18th-century Burmese alabaster Buddha head in Shan style and the solid 18-karat gold relief of Buddha circa the 13th-century Bayon period of the Khmer Empire. Do check out the beautiful pieces and furniture like Milanese ebonized side chairs and various Bargueños (a form of portable desk) from Spain, as well as paintings and lithography by Fernando Zóbel, Romeo Tabuena, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali.
Register for the auction at www.casadememoria.com. One may also attend the auction preview from Nov. 3 to 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Palacio de Memoria at 95 Roxas Blvd., Parañaque City, where strict safety protocols are in place.
Registered members will have access to a console on the day of the auction. Absentee bids can be placed before the auction, or offers may be done through telephone bidding.
