Emilio Terry is one of those talents that set stylemongers’ antennae aquiver. The Havana-born, Paris-bred architect and designer (1890–1969) took France by storm in the 1930s with his daring, neo-Romantic, and often Surrealistic interpretations of 18th-century neoclassicism. I once stayed at a 1950s Terry country house that took the form of a giant broken pediment; Terry’s extravagant follies for Carlos de Beistegui’s Château de Groussay estate are renowned, and his furnishings, from chairs to carpets, were invariably fantastical. So when a Terry project hits the radar, the fashionable world takes notice.

On September 15, Christie’s Paris is selling the contents of a rue de Presbourg mansion that Terry renovated and decorated in the mid-1960s. None of the offerings are known to have been designed by Terry, but the collective chic is clearly his, from a Louis XVI bureau plat by Philippe-Claude Montigny (estimated at $337,978–$563,297) to an Egyptian-influenced Louis XVI mantel clock ($78,862–$112,659).

The star of the sale is a copy of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s 1872 tinted-plaster ecstatic sculpture Génie de la Danse, estimated to bring in as much as $1.12 million. Terry selected it to be the centerpiece of the mansion’s entrance vestibule (shown above), which he encircled with horizontally scored plaster walls. The hypnotic incisions, giving the space a memorable sense of motion and monumentality, were inspired by Terry’s visit to a National Library of France exhibition in 1965, about the wildly inventive work of 18th-century architects Claude Nicolas Ledoux and Étienne-Louis Boullée.

Size 11 is short.
Size: 11, Color: (110) Summit White/Summit White/Khaki Base
Am in process of returning them. The sole was very comfortable, but the size 11 was short. Arch support was good and appearance was fine. Disappointed that they are short.

I really like these shoes
Size: 9.5, Color: (023) Distant Gray/Bittersweet Pink/Boundless Blue
These shoes are cute with the different colors. The cushioning, for me, is great. I got them for a trip with a lot of walking and my feet, which normally hurt, didn’t ache at all. I feel they are true to size. The quality seems good. Despite all the walking I did, the shoes still look brand new. I am really pleased with this purchase.

Amazing walking sneakers
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: (001) Black/Black/White, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: (001) Black/Black/White
Excellent purchase. The size was absolutely correct; they fit my feet perfectly without needing to order a different size. They're also incredibly comfortable from the first wear, ideal for everyday use as well as long walks. The quality feels very good, and the design is exactly as pictured. I would definitely buy them again.
