Dan Mask from Ivory Coast, Africa, 1950

Dan Mask from Ivory Coast, Africa, 1950

This very elegant Dan mask is well-proportioned with a long protruding mouth from Ivory Coast, Africa. It dates back to the 1950s. The base is included in the price.Dan masks have been documented as the embodiment of at least a dozen artistic personalities. Among these are Deangle, who ventures into the village from the initiation camps to ask women for food; Tankagle and Bagle, who entertain through a range of aesthetically pleasing dances, skits, and mimes; Bugle, who historically leads men into battle; and Gunyege, whose mask is worn by a communitys champion foot racers in competitions. The present example might be identified as Gunyege; once they are divorced from their performance contexts, however, mask forms are difficult to identify.

Four-Drawer Murano Glass Commode in Mondrian Style, 1970’s

Four-Drawer Murano Glass Commode in Mondrian Style, 1970’s

This commode features a striking design inspired by the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian, with a grid of black lines forming a pattern of rectangles and squares across its front surface. The shapes are filled with a mix of bright primary colors—red, blue, yellow—along with green, brown, and white, creating a bold contrast that emphasizes the modernist aesthetic. The structure is framed by a gold-colored border that adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. Gold-toned vertical and horizontal handles are positioned in a grid-like arrangement, further enhancing the geometric theme and adding a functional, yet stylistic element to the piece. The commode stands on short, square legs, which, along with its clean lines and sharp angles, give it a minimalist and contemporary feel. This piece is a modern interpretation of the De Stijl art movement, blending functionality with artistic expression, making it both a practical storage unit and a statement piece in any interior.
