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.

Great quality wire for any automotive or 12 volt wiring
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
This GS Power 16 gauge wire is excellent quality for any automotive wiring project. The copper is true OFC pure copper, not copper clad aluminum. It’s flexible, easy to route, and holds up well without the insulation feeling cheap or brittle. I have used it for automotive accessory wiring and some 12V equipment projects and it handled everything perfectly. The wire pulls cleanly, solders well, and the insulation thickness gives it a durable feel without being overly bulky. If you need dependable wire for automotive, marine, RV, audio, or general electrical projects, this is a great buy. I would absolutely purchase it again.

Not the sorry copper coated aluminum.
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
The wire is 16 gauge plenty big for my system. Heck, the wires supplied with my stereo, copomonet speakers, and amplifiers are about 20 or 24 gauge. I'm quite sure the wire will be more than suffeceint. I, m installing a mono sub amplifier a four-way amplifier to the sub amp outputs and the front of lines of the stereo. I'm gonna be pushing 20 speakers all except the sub woofer only pushing 100 watts a channel and the sub will push 150 watts. That makes 21 altogether. Not much just good clean sound. I've been working on the project going on 5 years now. Been bargain hunting, besides the work I've only got about $650 in the project. Can't wait to get it completed here around the end of July. Hopefully, it will sound great didn't want to pay anyone. Seen too many "professional" jobs that were subpar. I've seen some nightmares. Figured if l did the job then who could I blame at least I can only blame myself and didn't pay $1,000 for it. 😁🤔
