Description
Maria PERGAY (1930-2023) Very rare Z stool, circa 1970 Stainless steel plate folded and stiffened by four brackets One weld to be revised on the upper part of the seat base bracket and another on the lower part of the intermediate bracket Slight traces of glue on the seat Dimensions: 45.5 x 44.5 x 37.5 cm Provenance: collection of the American architect and decorator Constantin Vichey (1933-2026), then by descent This stool was acquired in New York in the early 1970s from Harvey Probber, Maria Pergay's distributor in the United States, for the décor that Constantin Vichey designed for the home of his father Luben Vichey and his mother-in-law Anna Vichey, for which he also drew up the plans, in Lakeville, New Jersey. The architecture of this house and its interior design were the subject of several publications in the specialist press in the United States, and a photographic report from the time of construction by Joseph Kugielsky shows the desk and its stool in situ. After the couple's death, Constantin Vichey brought the ensemble back to France, first to furnish a family home in the Gard region of France, then to his personal residence in Bordeaux, where it remained until his death. This extremely rare piece of furniture, which does not appear in the book devoted to the complete work, is nonetheless well documented in American press articles from the period about Maria Pergay's furniture.
