Art Deco Style
Located in NEW YORK, NY
At the dawn of the twentieth century, the world yearned for a new design style that would embody contemporary culture. Efforts to create a design language suited to the needs and tastes of the modern world took shape during the first decades of the new century, crystallizing in Paris with the 1925 Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. The Art Deco period encompassed a multitude of decorative influences, including the updating of historical styles, the introduction of exotic elements and the adaptation of avant-garde art currents such as the geometric abstraction of Cubism.
Not a single style or a unified movement, Art Deco is a design idiom that reflects a decorative approach to designing appealing consumer goods during the interwar period. Encompassing every discipline within the applied arts, Art Deco manifested itself to some extent everywhere around the world, perhaps the first design idiom ever to do so. Art Deco’s fundamental appeal lay in its decorative qualities, which consumers found attractive and glamorous. From skyscrapers, locomotives, automobiles and ocean liners to fashion, advertising and everyday home furnishings and appliances, Art Deco style...

Art Deco Nude Female Ashtray, C1930
By Frankart
Located in Devon, England
For your consideration is this stylish Art Deco ashtray we're attributing to Frankart inc, see bio below. The overall size of this piece makes us think this might have been produced for commercial use, as it's larger than standard sizes for these objects. Lovely aged finish, base metal is white metal/spelter?. Usually with Frankart pieces they are enamelled in green or have been given a bronzed effect, so this one is a little more rare and unusual. There is no registration numbers or makers name to this piece.
Condition is good, she displays beautifully.

Émile Louis Picault " Saint George and the Dragon " 19th Century
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Important sculpture in spelter by the sculptor Emile Louis Picault representing Saint George Slaying the dragon.
Saint George is represented standing, almost naked, dressed only in a loincloth and a helmet, holding his spear in his left hand seems to crush the dragon which lies dead at his feet with its mouth wide open. The victory of the Saint George against the dragon is in fact an allegory of the victory of good over evil. This theme of Christian history has been represented by many artists.
Émile Picault (1833-1915) was a student of the painter Henri Royer...
