Description: Absolutely fabulous! The quintessential art deco tea set. Geometric cubist lines, and ultra luxe detail (the wood appears to be macassar ebony) There is a hallmark but we don’t recognize it. The lines are so reminiscent of Jean Puiforcat or the Christofle / Gallia pieces that Luc Lanel designed circa 1929-1939. The faceted geometric lines on these pieces also resemble sets by Ercuis and Ravinet D’Enfert from the period. (We double-checked our invoice from DROUOT where we won these at auction and the maker is not listed there, either). Wear consistent with age and use. Typical scratches, some spots of plating loss and such — as expected for a service at least 80 years old. It presently has a nice patina as it has not been polished for close to two months, so it could use a fresh polish. The wood may benefit from a light conditioning, typical for these sets of this vintage. That said, it presents SUPERBLY, as the photos attest. Please also check our other listings! In the coming weeks, we will be offering several other prized 1920’s - 1930’s Art Deco pieces, including sculptures by ALEXANDRE OULINE, LUCIEN GIBERT, JEAN DE RONCOURT, MAX LE VERRIER… and PUIFORCAT flatware, goblets a pair of table lamps by Maison Desny. Plus pieces from Revere, Lurelle Guild for Kensington, and Chase, modernist paintings, a suite of cubist portraits / lithographs, African and tribal art, as well as a nice selection of furniture — a Machine Age Norman Bel Geddes for Simmons bedroom set, (dressers, bed, vanity / desk), tables and chairs by Wolfgang Hoffmann and Alfons Bach (Royalchrome, Lloyd). Also, a Paul Frankl inspired skyscraper coffee table, and small objects and figurines (Rosenthal, Hertwig Kathutte), as well as a pair of shagreen*/ leather screens custom created for the Baccarat Hotel, NYC. We are also in process of posting nearly a dozen men’s designer pieces (sunglasses, leather shoes, boots, sneakers, jackets, duffel bags, luggage and sweaters) from Prada, Bottega Veneta, Hermes, Cartier, Dolce and Gabbana and Guccii — so if interested, please be certain to check back in the coming days. Much vintage luggage and travel pieces from Asprey, Mappin & Webb— including a pair of goatskin parchment (vellum) trunks from the estate of Andre Leon Talley.
