Alle Auktionen / Sonstige / Gianni Versace - Gianni Versace - Armchair (3) - SB1 Vanitas - Beech - Vanitas
An extraordinary, investment-quality lounge ensemble from the legendary golden era of Italian Haute Couture design. This lot presents an incredibly rare, fully documented pair of authentic Gianni Versace "SB1" Poltroncina Armchairs from the Versace Home Collection — produced in Italy during the 1990s, while Gianni Versace himself was still alive and at the creative helm of the maison, prior to the brand's home furnishings direction shifting entirely after his passing in 1997. Paired with a magnificent Neo-Baroque cherub coffee table for a striking stylistic composition, this is a turnkey, ready-to-display centerpiece for world-class interiors, elite private collections, or premium luxury estates — and a genuinely scarce find, as this line has long since ceased production. The Armchairs: Pure Gianni Versace Provenance (2 Pieces) Model & Origin: Original Gianni Versace Home Collection, Model SB1 "Poltroncina Armchair," manufactured in Italy in the 1990s — the founding era of Versace's home furnishings division, launched in 1992 as one of the first fashion maisons to enter luxury interiors. This is an original piece from that formative period, not a later licensed re-edition. Authenticity & Documentation — a Collector's Rarity: Unlike undocumented or later re-editions frequently seen on the market, this pair comes with rare triple documentation, rarely found together on a single lot: Embroidered "Atelier Versace" crest woven directly into the original textile on both chairs. Original paper factory hangtag fully intact, stating the model number (SB1), country of origin (Made in Italy), and the exact historical colour/pattern matrix code (COL 89373/21). Original fabric composition law tag preserved on the underside, confirming genuine period-correct materials. Materials & Craftsmanship: Hand-carved solid wood frames finished in ivory lacquer with gold-leaf gilded accents, in the Louis XVI/Empire-revival taste — carved acanthus scrollwork, fluted legs, and rope-trimmed upholstery edging on all visible sides, including the back panel, a hallmark of higher-grade tailoring rarely seen on mass-market reproductions. The Textile: Upholstered in the iconic, richly saturated black-and-gold Versace Barocco pattern, rendered in premium cotton velvet with a symmetrical, gallery-quality composition on both the backrest and seat. The Table: Perfect Stylistic Complement A striking Neo-Baroque coffee table with a hand-sculpted cherub/putto base in gilded finish, crowned with a substantial round bevelled glass top. Note on authenticity: this piece echoes the high-glamour Versace aesthetic beautifully as a visual anchor for the armchairs, but is an unbranded decorative piece in the style of Versace — sold as a complementary design pairing, not attributed to the maison. Condition Report Armchairs: Excellent vintage collector's condition, fully consistent with genuine 30-year period age and only light domestic use. The original cotton Barocco upholstery remains crisp, taut, vibrant, and structurally sound throughout — no tears, sagging, stains, or odours. The gold-leaf gilding shows only minor, expected surface wear to raised edges on the armrests, consistent with an authentic, unrestored original finish — genuine period patina rather than a later over-polished restoration, and prized by collectors as proof of an untouched original surface. Frame and joinery are solid, tight, and fully stable. Shipping to Germany: €250 Shipping to Europe: €400
