Love big and bold contemporary style? Vintage Ligne Roset French find offers GIANT opportunity

 |  By Kendal Cooper

If you have space for some giant French flair this huge living room display unit could be yours.

The eye-catching, contemporary piece measures a whopping 2.15m x 3.1m. However, if room allows, it may well be a good investment. This iconic 1970s/80s unit is be renowned French modern furniture manufacturer Ligne Roset. It comes with a limited edition print centre piece and is finished in white with smoked glass.

Ligne Roset, founded by Antoine Roset in 1860 in Montagnieu, France, started by making bentwood walking sticks. However, in 1936 it turned to furniture. Over time, and thanks to collaborations with contemporary designers, it’s built a reputation for producing modern, high quality furniture.  Its popularity is underlined by the fact it has around 200 stores and 1,000 retail distributors worldwide.

Large Ligne Roset living room display units retail on its website for as much as £4,500. This vintage example has an estimate of £300-£500 giving fans the chance to obtain a vintage piece for a snip. It comes with its original receipts to prove provenance and is tipped to sail past its guide price in the January 10-11 Bishton Hall Silver, Jewellery, Watches, Fine Art & Antiques Auction.

Catalogue due live January 3 at www.hansonslive.co.uk. Furniture to sell? Email [email protected] or call 01283 733988.
