Haut. 50 cm ; height ; 19 ¾ in

Former Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé collection.

This pair of Baroque-style columns could be a tribute to the taste of Marie-Laure de Noailles, whom Yves Saint Laurente particularly admired. He decorated his flat at 55 rue de Babylone, inspired by the famous photograph of Marie-Laure de Noailles in her salon at the Hôtel de Bischoffsheim, seated next to a gueridon decorated with silver-gilt items and objects of curiosity.
