About the Item
Created by Paul Mergier, one of France's great metalworkers and enamelists in the Art Deco period -- with an especially strong reputation for dinanderie or mixed-metal work -- this enamel and copper panel dates from the 1950s, and shows the influence of both Art Deco and Mid Century styles. Like many of his contemporaries, Mergier was influenced by Classical and African art, and this piece from the 1950s -- with its Greek figure blowing a horn made from a seashell -- continues to show that influence. The reopened Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris includes a suite of furniture commissioned by Jacques Ducet and executed by Mergier along with Pierre Legrain and Marcel Coard in the 1920s. This piece is signed and dated, and retains its original frame.

"Salome with Head of John the Baptist", Unique Art Deco Charger, Ericson
By Estrid Ericson
Located in Philadelphia, PA
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...
