Gilt Bronze Fleur Box by Line Vautrin

Creator: Line Vautrin
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A large cast bronze powder box (poudrier) by French Parisian art jeweler Line Vautrin (1913-1997) circa 1945-1950. The box called "Fleur" (Flower) features a round form with stylized opening petals of a rose or camelia. The surface reliefs were artistically created as view from above that showcase the layers of a flower that is just about to bloom. Straddled between realistic and abstract, the box is elegant and a great example of Line Vautrin's artistic sensibility. It is singed on the base and retains its original interior mirror and powder pad.
