Art Deco Nude Smoking Stand Signed Frankart

About the Item

Art Deco Nude Smoking Stand Signed Frankart Inc. Classic item, use as a smoking stand or as a plant stand or even as a martini stand. This stand has some weathered patina from use. Some staining and some pitting of the metal. The design studio of Frankart Incorporated, then at 225 Fifth Avenue, was one of these small firms, whose line of delightful female “nudie girl” lamps and ash receivers has become famous and very sought after. The earliest of von Frankenberg's ladies, Flame, dates to 1921. It has a slightly nouveau base, which tapers upward to blend into the figure's ankle. A sleek, nude figure candle holder, its popularity inspired more than 85 other figural pieces, sculpted by chief designer Arthur von Frankenberg. In 1923, stepped, or pyramidal bases were featured. This new look was most probably inspired by the astounding discovery of the Egyptian King Tutankhamen's tomb in that same year. During the period, Frankart objects such as ashtrays, were used in several of the Busby Berkley musicals and in Marx Brothers films, seen in stylish American home set designs. After approximately ten years, Frankart closed its doors, a victim of the Great Depression. In the mid-1940s, the bulk of the original Frankart molds were found in storage and sold by weight to a scrap metal firm, where they were melted down.
