- Lot Description
JOAN BUSQUETS I JANÉ (Barcelona, 1874 - 1949). Modernist washbasin, ca.1900. In walnut, pyro-engraved marquetry, ceramic basin, marble, brass. Electrified with six points of light. Measurements: 257 x 110 x 70 cm. Modernist washbasin designed by Joan Busquets. The structure, in walnut, presents an organicist design characteristic of the Catalan cabinetmaker. It consists of a lower body of trilobed profile, decorated throughout its front with floral elements in pyrography marquetry. The ceramic basin, with brass faucets in the form of a scallop, is embedded in a marble top. The mirror is framed between fine carving topped with coups de fuet. Brass shamrocks top the wooden bouquets. The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya conserves and exhibits a remarkable collection of projects and furniture by Joan Busquets. Furniture, ceiling lamps and other pieces are part of this set, as well as more than 150 original drawings-sketches made by hand by the author, in watercolor, ink and graphite pencil, where Joan Busquets highlights his mastery and where we see several examples very similar to the works of this set that we are auctioning. Furniture designer and decorator, Joan Busquets is currently considered one of the most representative figures of Catalan modernism. He began his training in the family workshop, and then studied at the Escuela de La Llotja in Barcelona, where his teachers were Guitart and Lostaló. In the 1895-96 academic year he obtained a scholarship that allowed him to travel around Spain, which he obtained thanks to a project for a Renaissance-style bookcase-cabinet. He exhibited furniture projects for the first time at the Barcelona Exhibition of 1896. The workshop of Joan Busquets was one of the most outstanding of modernist Catalonia and is currently, together with the production of Gaspar Homar, the most representative testimony of the furniture and decoration of Catalan modernism. He was president of the Fomento de las Artes Decorativas between 1918 and 1921, and supervised the manufacture of furniture for Gaudí's Casa Calvet. Works by Busquets can currently be found in the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Güell Palace in Barcelona, the National Museum of Decorative Arts and the Museum of Catalan Modernism in Barcelona, among others, as well as in several important private collections.
