Dries Criel
EOS Earrings Sandblasted 18kt yellow gold and natural white diamonds Inspired by Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. The earrings radiate a soft, sunlit warmth. Their matte surface captures light with subtlety, creating a gentle and enduring glow. At the heart of each piece rests a natural, white, step-cut diamond. Framed by flowing lines and delicate pavé diamonds, its architectural brilliance recalls the moment dawn first appears on the horizon: quiet, luminous and full of promise.

Built from soft, flowing brushstrokes in warm oranges, pinks and reds, it shows Renoir’s late style at its most affectionate. The painting was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, in Vincent van Gogh en zijn Tijdgenooten (1930) and at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Renoir: Intimidad (2016–17). Its provenance includes Ambroise Vollard and the Worcester Art Museum. A tender, closely observed portrayal of family life, it offers an intimate glimpse into the final chapter of Renoir’s career.

Louis XV writing table Paris, Louis XV period, circa 1750 Ormolu-mounted tulipwood, satinwood, amaranth, and red leather H 66 x W 55 x D 37 cm Stamped I·P·LATZ Jean-Pierre Latz (Cologne 1686-1754 Paris) was titled as favoured craftsman to the king This small folding table stands at the very top of the social hierarchy of objects: beneath its top, a sliding shelf reveals a writing desk upholstered in red leather, whilst a side drawer conceals an inkwell. This transformation mechanism is remarkably discreet, requiring the cabinetmaker to collaborate with a mechanic and a locksmith. On the top, a lyre adorned with a ribbon – a rare motif on small pieces of furniture from this period – reflects the era’s taste for the arts. It is reminiscent of the writing table commissioned for the Marquise de Pompadour, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This table is the work of Jean-Pierre Latz, who came to Paris from Cologne in 1719 and became the King’s favoured cabinetmaker. Inventive and daring, he cast and chiselled his own bronze fittings in defiance of the regulations, and counted Frederick II of Prussia, Augustus III of Poland and the eldest daughter of Louis XV amongst his clients. Furniture bearing his signature is rare.
