Jean Despres French Silver Plate Metal Bowl

About the Item

Jean Despres important French designer, known for original jewelry designs, champagne buckets, cocktail shakers, and many fine objects of art. This spectacular bowl may be one-off, with both signature (on the underside of base) and initial stamp on the side of the bowl. This hand-hammered finish is a technique you see often in his work. The piece offered here has an exceptional feeling. The treatment of the repeated circular balls on the base cast a very unusual visual treatment of shades and effect. Many pieces developed with his signature the addition of a heavy link chain called “gormette”. This adorned many of his pieces and played very well against both polished and hammered surfaces, and these pieces were in great demand, and remain so today. His jewelry perfectly expressed the new esthetic of the time. He participated in a number of exhibitions, and his jewelry was very well received. His revolutionary jewelry designs were of three types, “bijoux glaces”, “bijoux moteurs”, and “bijoux ceramique”.
