French Art Deco Polished Brass Shell Pedestal Jewelry Dish

Price270 €
One-of-a-kind piece
  • LIMITED EDITION WORK
A beautifully sculptural brass shell jewellery dish in the Art Deco style, shaped as an elegant scallop shell and elevated on a small circular pedestal, giving the piece a wonderfully refined, architectural presence. The polished brass catches the light across the shell’s deep, radiating ribs, while the distinctive double-scroll detail at the centre adds a refined Deco touch. The combination of strong symmetry, geometric repetition and lustrous brass gives the piece a glamorous sculptural quality. Found in France, this unsigned piece captures the elegance of French Art Deco design in a wonderfully decorative and functional form. The raised pedestal allows the shell form to be appreciated from every angle. The piece has been professionally restored and polished, bringing the brass back to a beautiful, luminous finish. At 16 cm wide, it has a generous yet beautifully compact scale, making it ideal as a jewelry dish, vide-poche, trinket dish or catchall. Perfect for rings and treasured pieces on a dressing table, or equally beautiful displayed empty on a bedside table or console.

FAQ
Can you provide a more precise dating for this piece (e.g. which decade or period), given it is unsigned?
A precise date cannot be confirmed, as the piece is unsigned.
After polishing, was a protective lacquer or coating applied, or will the brass naturally tarnish over time? What are the recommended care instructions?
No protective lacquer has been applied; instead, Renaissance wax has been lightly buffed into the brass. The piece will naturally tarnish over time, developing a warm patina, and can be gently polished to restore its shine as desired.
Does the pedestal base sit flat and stable, and is there felt or protective padding underneath to prevent scratching a dressing table or console?
The pedestal base sits flat and stable. Please note there is no felt or protective padding underneath, so we recommend using a soft pad when placing it on delicate surfaces.
Do you provide any certificate of authenticity or documented provenance confirming the French Art Deco origin?
No certificate of authenticity or documented provenance is provided with this piece.
Is the piece a single solid casting delivered fully assembled, or is the shell attached to the pedestal as a separate component?
The piece is a single, fully assembled component, delivered ready to display.
