Carlton Hobbs and Jean-Luc Baroni Present "IN THE GRAND MANNER," an Exhibition of Master Works of Art and Furniture, January 22-February 2: "New York, NY (PRWEB) October 24, 2009 -- Carlton Hobbs, the eminent international antiques dealer, and Jean-Luc Baroni, one of the leading international fine art specialists, are pleased to announce that an exhibition entitled 'IN THE GRAND MANNER,' will open on January 22 to February 2, 2010 at the Carlton Hobbs Gallery, 60 East 93rd Street, in New York. Baroni will present approximately thirty-five rare and highly important old master paintings and drawings, from the 16th to the early 20th centuries, some on view for the first time in the United States.
'We are delighted to welcome Jean-Luc Baroni to our gallery and can hardly wait to see the superb pieces he has selected to exhibit here during Old Master Week in New York,' said Carlton Hobbs. 'This is the first time we have lent a large part of our gallery to a dealer from a different discipline, but believe that we will provide the perfect setting for Mr. Baroni's stunning collection. We will carefully select pieces from our own inventory to complement the old master works.' Amongst these will be an extraordinary and, according to Lucy Wood, 'pioneering' early neoclassical giltwood armchair attributed to Ince & Mayhew, presumably from a group at Bramshill Park; a highly important overmantel mirror with the frame attributed to Thomas and René Pelletier; and a pair of giltwood console tables almost certainly commissioned for Schloss Seehof."
