The appetite for design has grown greatly since de Veres first introduced sales of designer furniture and contemporary art in this country. Design classics by Eileen Grey, Mies van der Rohe, Arne Jacobsen, Niels Moller, and Finn Juhl, as well as contemporary pieces by makers like Ligne Roset, Roche Bobois, and Knoll, will come under the hammer at deVeres' current timed online art and design sale, which runs until November 4.

This is the 25th design auction by deVeres, which has seen interest grow over the years. There is statement art by Anne Madden, Mainie Jellett, Manar Al Shouha, Patrick Scott, Donald Teskey and John Shinnors and many other artists whose work sits particularly well with mid-20th-century design. The auctioneers say that this is their biggest and best sale to date. It will be on view at the RHA from November 1-4.
