Diego Giacometti Berceau table, modèle aux chats designed in 1970 patinated bronze and glassSigned DIEGO on a leg 55 x 112 x 42 cm ; 21 ⅝ x 44 ⅛ x 16 ½ in. ------------------------------------------- Diego Giacometti Table Berceau, modèle aux chats le modèle créé en 1970 bronze patiné et dalle de verreSigné DIEGO sur un pied 55 x 112 x 42 cm ; 21 ⅝ x 44 ⅛ x 16 ½ in.Condition reportIn overall very good condition. This highly sculptural low table displays superb presence when viewed in person, enhanced by a rich patina displaying subtle hints of green and dark green and brown. The patina presents with instances of wear mainly located on each ear of the cats and on the upper branch, revealing the original color of the bronze. Four protective pads have been added on the upper part of the structure, one is missing. A few oxidation marks throughout, but not visually distracting. All consistent with gentle use and age. The top has been added at a later stageProvenanceAcquired directly from the artist by Jean Léger,Paris Private collectionChristie's London, 29 June 2000, lot 304Acquired from the above by the present ownerImportant european collection------------------------------------------- Acquis directement auprès de l'artiste par Jean Léger, ParisCollection privéeChristie's Londres, 29 juin 2000, lot 304Acquis de la précédente par l'actuel propriétaireImportante collection EuropéenneLiteratureFrançoise Francisi, Diego Giacometti Catalogue de l'oeuvre, Paris, 1986, n.pDaniel Marchesseau, Diego Giacometti sculpteur de meubles, Paris, 2018, p.102-103------------------------------------------- Françoise Francisi, Diego Giacometti Catalogue de l'oeuvre, Paris, 1986, n.pDaniel Marchesseau, Diego Giacometti sculpteur de meubles, Paris, 2018, p.102-103
