Description
Maria PERGAY (1930-2023) S desk, designed in 1968 L-shaped leg, S-shaped top, partially upholstered in leather for the writing area Some stains on the base 73 x 197.5 x 105.5 cm Provenance: collection of the American architect and decorator Constantin Vichey (1933-2026), then by descent Bibliography: Suzanne Demisch, Stéphane Danant, Maria Pergay Complete works, 1957-2010, Bologna, Damiani editore, 2011, a similar model reproduced on pages 105 and 106 under reference 16. This desk 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, then to his personal residence in Bordeaux, where it remained until his death.
