"  Among the highlights of this year&amp;#039;s Winter Antique Show is a Jean Dunand room presented by Maison Gerard. The octagonal black laquer-paneled &amp;quot;breakfast room&amp;quot; was created for the San Francisco apartment of Union Pacific railroad heir Templeton Crocker in 1928. Crocker, who hired Jean Michel Frank to design the apartment, turned to Dunand to design his breakfast room, dining room, and bedroom. Several of the other rooms from the apartment are part of the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The walls, which are nine feet tall and feature goldfish, bubbles, and streaks of light rendered in eggshell, are presented fully assembled to the public for the first time in decades. &amp;quot;This room is undoubtedly one of Jean Dunand&amp;#039;s finest works. It marks a groundbreaking collaboration between him and Templeton Crocker, an early innovator in bringing the French Art Deco movement to the U.S.,&amp;quot; Benoist Drut of Maison Gerard says. &amp;quot;Not only does it showcase Dunand&amp;#039;s mastery in the art of lacquer, but the fact that it survives intact and in such pristine condition makes it one of the most historically significant pieces to be seen at the fair. We are thrilled to present it.&amp;quot; The 60th annual Winter Antique Show runs through February 2 at the Park Avenue Armory. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
