About the Item
Entirely striking and original, this bronze paperweight features two crabs framed by enameled anemone and bits of sea and sand, all highly stylized in the Art Deco manner, and everything but the crabs given a shimmering enamel finish in tones of deep pink, emerald green and sapphire blue. The workmanship is superb, and the bits of high style waves shown on one side indicate that the artisan was French.
