About the Item
Onyx Coiffure is an expertly crafted, embossed serigraph on paper with foil stamping and an image size of 27 x 22 inches. From the edition of 650, the art is numbered 214/300 and estate-stamped 'Erté' lower right (there were also 300 Roman and 50 AP ). Framed in a classic 'reed and ribbon' gold-tone moulding.
Onyx Coiffure is one of four serigraphs in Erté’s ‘Fashion and Jewelry Suite II.’ The suite showcases four of the most exquisite Erté designs that sprang from his twenty-two year association with Harper’s Bazaar. His drawings for the magazine sparked the creation of innumerable fashion designs for some of the world’s most glamorous women, among them designs for jewelry and fashion accessories. The avante-garde Onyx Coiffure is based on a design for a hair ornament in 1922 and depicts a hair ornament and belt combined into one stunning piece. Over 500 black onyx beads drape elegantly between four golden clasps to devise this unique, one-of-a-kind fashion creation.
Martin Lawrence Galleries is an affiliate of Erté's publisher Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts. This print is therefore as new, with no prior ownership, coming straight from the publisher.

Erte - Romain de Tirtoff
Erté, Romain de Tirtoff, (1892–1990) was a Russian-born French artist and designer who is equally famous for his elegant fashion designs and his artwork, both of which capture the art deco period in which he worked. Diversely talented, Erté was born in Saint Petersburg to a distinguished family with roots tracing back to 1548. After moving to Paris, he secured his first substantial contract with Harper's Bazaar magazine, and thus launched an illustrious career that included designing costumes and stage sets. Between 1915–1937, Erte designed over 200 covers for Harper's Bazaar, and his illustrations would also appear in such publications as Illustrated London News, Cosmopolitan, Ladies' Home Journal, and Vogue. Erté flourished and was renowned in an array of fields, including fashion, jewelry, graphic arts, costume and set design for film, theater, and opera, and interior decor.
After designing apparel for the French dancer Gaby Deslys, Erté went on to design costumes, program designs, and sets which were featured in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1923, many productions of the Folies Bergère, and George White's Scandals. On Broadway, the celebrated French chanteuse Irène Bordoni wore Erté's designs. His delicate figures and sophisticated, glamorous designs are instantly recognizable, and his ideas and art still influence fashion into the 21st century.
