French Art Deco Silver Paperweight

About the Item

French Art Deco Silver Paperweight Origin France Circa 1920 Materials glass and solid silver Frosted artistic glass Artist: Jean Henri Orliac has an artist's punch with the letter H and the letter O Excellent condition Art Deco1​ (Spanish art deco) was a popular design movement from 1920 to 1939 (whose influence extends into the 1950s in some countries) that influenced the world's decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and graphic and industrial design; also the visual arts such as fashion, painting, printmaking, sculpture and cinematography. After the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, several French artists (Hector Guimard, Eugène Grasset, Raoul Lachenal, Paul Follot, Maurice Dufrène and Émile Decour) formed a formal collective dedicated to avant-garde decorative arts. In 1925 they organised the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, and called themselves the Moderns; in fact, the term Art Deco was coined at the retrospective entitled "Les Années 25", held in Paris at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Museum of Decorative Arts).
