PAL (Jean de Paleologue, 1860-1942)
EUSKAL-JAI, PARISIEN
lithograph in colours, c.1895, printed by Paul Dupont, Paris, a few small tears in the margins, mounted on stretched canvas. This poster puts us right into the action of the Basque national sport of jai-alai (“Euskal” is Basque for “Basque”). Pal places us directly behind the dynamically poised player, preparing to scoop and hurl the pelota (the parchment skin-covered ball that can travel in excess of 180 mph) into play with his xistera (a wicker basket glove that measures approximately twenty-six inches in length).

The Spring Decorative Fair 3-8 May 2011
Once again I’ll be exhibiting at the Decorative fair in Battersea park from the 3rd -8th May.
The Decorative Fair is a thrice-yearly specialist event for the discerning decorator looking to source unusual English and European antiques, original 20th century designs and works of art from all periods to the present day. From opulent show-stoppers to useful furniture, around 140 exhibitors offer a broad range of both fine quality and affordable pieces for inspired interiors, in the relaxed surroundings of The Marquee in leafy Battersea Park – just over the River Thames from Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. The Fair is fun, fashionable and particularly well-known as an excellent source of painted furniture, Gustavian & Swedish design, 20th century design, lighting, accessories and named-design furniture, and excellent mirrors. It’s worldwide reputation, established over 25 years, entices international trade and retail buyers, interior designers, and private customers seeking unique and unusual furnishings and quirky accessories for decorating schemes.
