A very rare Jean-Michel Frank table lamp will be on display at PHILLIPS. Frank is a French interior designer born in 1895, and this table lamp has long been placed on the piano of his friend Alice Self's Hôtel Petit Currier on Babylon Street in Paris. For those who are aiming for such a work, this story may be unbearable and attractive.
