About the Item

“Trianon” or “Les pavés du Roy”, silvered bronze compact by Line Vautrin. Silver-plated bronze compact depicting the cobblestones of the Château de Versailles. On the upper part, a hinged powder compartment box recalling the facade of the Trianon. The interior of the compact retains its original mirror and powder screen. « (…) a visit to Versailles brought to my mind the multiplication of the paving stones. Being a woman, I felt them strongly in my balance, if I may say so, because they were bulging and irregular, and I was wearing small heels. I made a box of them: ‘Les pavés du Roy’, with an adjoining Petit Trianon, which constitutes a small blush box, articulated to the first one. » Line Vautrin (‘Les objets de poésie de Line Vautrin’, Art et Industrie, XII, 1948, p. 38) __ Lit. : Line Vautrin, Poesie in Metall», collection Anne Bokelberg, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hambourg, 16 avril-29 juin 2003, exhibition catalogue, pp. 67 et 73.
