About the Item

1940s Art Déco silver-plated metal cylindrical container with twisted rope ornamentation by Jean Després, France By: Jean Després Material: metal, silver, silver plate Technique: cast, molded, silvered, plated, metalwork Dimensions: 3 in x 4 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1945 Style: Art Déco, Mid-Century Modern Place of origin: France Crafted by the renowned french designer Jean Després, this mid-20th century cylindrical metal container captures his signature blend of minimalism and elegance. The container, with its polished, silver plated finish, radiates understated sophistication. Its surface is adorned with a finely detailed twisted rope motif, adding a subtle texture and visual appeal to the sleek design. Despite its modest size, the container stands out for its meticulous craftsmanship. The seamless integration of the removable lid hints at its versatile use—whether as a humidor, a container for fine spices, or a luxury cosmetic holder. Després’s mark is discreetly placed on the underside of the base, a testament to his commitment to quality. Jean Després, a pivotal figure in the Art Déco movement, is celebrated for his innovative metalwork that harmonizes traditional techniques with modernist design. This piece exemplifies his talent for merging simplicity with refinement, making it not only a practical object but also a valuable collector’s item with historical and artistic significance.
