Emilio Terry is one of those talents that set stylemongers’ antennae aquiver. The Havana-born, Paris-bred architect and designer (1890–1969) took France by storm in the 1930s with his daring, neo-Romantic, and often Surrealistic interpretations of 18th-century neoclassicism. I once stayed at a 1950s Terry country house that took the form of a giant broken pediment; Terry’s extravagant follies for Carlos de Beistegui’s Château de Groussay estate are renowned, and his furnishings, from chairs to carpets, were invariably fantastical. So when a Terry project hits the radar, the fashionable world takes notice.

On September 15, Christie’s Paris is selling the contents of a rue de Presbourg mansion that Terry renovated and decorated in the mid-1960s. None of the offerings are known to have been designed by Terry, but the collective chic is clearly his, from a Louis XVI bureau plat by Philippe-Claude Montigny (estimated at $337,978–$563,297) to an Egyptian-influenced Louis XVI mantel clock ($78,862–$112,659).

The star of the sale is a copy of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s 1872 tinted-plaster ecstatic sculpture Génie de la Danse, estimated to bring in as much as $1.12 million. Terry selected it to be the centerpiece of the mansion’s entrance vestibule (shown above), which he encircled with horizontally scored plaster walls. The hypnotic incisions, giving the space a memorable sense of motion and monumentality, were inspired by Terry’s visit to a National Library of France exhibition in 1965, about the wildly inventive work of 18th-century architects Claude Nicolas Ledoux and Étienne-Louis Boullée.

There are better floating shelves
Color: Rustic Brwon, Size: 16in
Doesn’t feel very sturdy like other floating shelves I’ve bought, and they slant a little. The anchors and screws that it came with all broke so we had to get our own for it to feel more secure on the wall, but still feels wobbly. Overall, it looks good on the wall after the fact, but won’t be adding too much weight on it.

Very solid and nice looking
Color: Natural, Size: 72 Inch
Very solid. Mounting hardware is sturdy when you mount it into the studs of the wall. I weigh 180 lbs and I sat on it with no issue

Bonus secret compartment in these beauties 😉
Absolutely LOVE these real wood shelves. The perfect depth to actually be functional in the bathroom! Came with all the hardware to install and very well packaged--you can tell a lot of care went into these. The hardware was tucked into a carved out notch on the backside of the shelf, which now we can use as a secret compartment! (Seriously, no one would find it there if you wanted to hide some keys or cash! 🤭) The metal drywall mounting brackets didn't work (or we just weren't using them correctly?), but we had other drywall mounts, so it wasn't a problem for us. Highly recommend these high quality shelves. 👍

Be aware, questionable quality
Color: Natural, Size: 36 Inch
Great idea, but overall a huge pain. Had to order and return multiple times to get a shelf that didn't have crumbling edges, jagged wood filler, or giant cracks.
