French Art Deco Macassar and Chrome Shellfish Set, 1920
About the Item
This rare French Art Deco shellfish set from around 1920 is a stunning example of the period’s elegance and craftsmanship. The set, which includes six shellfish forks, is supported by a unique crab-shaped base made from Macassar ebony and chromed metal. Macassar ebony is known for its striking dark, streaked appearance, which makes it an exceptional material for luxury items. The six forks are crafted from stainless steel, contributing to both the durability and refined look of the set.
The Art Deco style is characterized by bold geometric shapes and luxurious materials, and this shellfish set captures those elements perfectly. The use of a crab motif adds a playful yet sophisticated touch, while the combination of wood and metal gives the piece a striking contrast that reflects the opulence of the era.
Such a set would likely be a valuable collector’s item due to its rarity, craftsmanship, and the fact that it is an original example of French Art Deco design from the 1920s.
