"Salome with Head of John the Baptist", Unique Art Deco Charger, Ericson

About the Item

Elegant and beautifully crafted, this superb example of Swedish Grace artisanry was made by the famed Svenskt Tenn workshop in Sweden, which produced a wide range of artisan-designed and made sculptures and home goods, often in pewter, as here. Svenskt Tenn was founded in 1924 by Estrid Ericson, who brought together an astounding array of artists such as Josef Frank and Anna Petrus, many now world-renowned, to create a wide range of objects. Ericson herself was known for creating works in pewter with patterns or designs incised in the metal, so this piece is attributed to her artistry. Here she depicts Salome, holding the head of John the Baptist, the scene framed by palm trees to either side. The artist rubbed a dark ink or patina into the incised lines, to make them stand out against the silvery finish of the pewter. The reverse side is well-marked.
