An exceptional and rare 1:4 scale miniature wooden furniture set dating to the 1930s, featuring a twin-pedestal desk, a matching geometric chair, and a striking sideboard. Masterfully lacquered in a vibrant green and black finish, this set perfectly embodies the clean architectural lines of the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne movements.
This museum-quality set carries an impeccable historical pedigree that makes it a true holy grail for miniature connoisseurs:
1. It bears the original stamped maker's mark on the raw wood from the historic boutique toy store "Juguetes y Novedades - El Paraíso de los Niños" in Montevideo, Uruguay, dating back to the early 20th century.
2. It comes directly from the renowned private collection of Maxine Segal Kam and Michael Kam in Philadelphia. The Kam collection is widely celebrated in the American art and antique world, having been featured in prominent publications including the Philadelphia Daily News and Inside Magazine. Original press clippings and historical documentation are pictured and included with the purchase.
A magnificent, highly curated statement piece tailored for elite collectors, specialized curators, or high-end interior designers looking for an authentic piece of design history.
