About the Item

Exceptional French Art Deco Desk Accessory in Macassar, Chrome, and Lucite, circa 1940 A rare and refined embodiment of Art Deco modernism, this exquisite desk accessory was expertly crafted in France circa 1940 and showcases the era's signature blend of luxury, innovation, and geometric precision. Its sculptural silhouette—anchored by rich Macassar wood —radiates timeless sophistication, while the interplay of polished chrome and Lucite introduces a sleek, modernist contrast that feels both bold and harmonious. Despite no visible maker's signature, the level of craftsmanship and design integrity suggests the work of a master artisan—possibly from one of the numerous ateliers contributing to the golden age of French decorative arts. Dimensions: 13.38 in wide (34 cm) by 5.69 in deep (14.5 cm) by 7.69 in high (19.5 cm). Note: The in situ view is AI-generated, and the other accessories are not included in the sale.
