Paire de boutons de manchette en argent, circa 1935, France. Signés, avec poinçon de maître de Jean Després. Poids brut : 16,79 g.
Orfèvre, bijoutier et sculpteur français (1889–1980), Jean Després est l'une des figures les plus singulières de la joaillerie Art Déco. Formé dans l'atelier d'aviation pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il développa une esthétique résolument industrielle et mécanique, à contre-courant du raffinement floral de ses contemporains, qui lui vaut aujourd'hui une place de choix dans les grandes collections muséales.
Pair of silver Art Deco cufflinks, circa 1935, France. Signed, with Jean Després master mark. Gross weight: 16.79 g.
French silversmith, jeweller and sculptor (1889–1980), Jean Després is one of the most singular figures in Art Deco jewellery. Trained in an aviation workshop during the First World War, he developed a resolutely industrial and mechanical aesthetic — in sharp contrast to the floral refinement of his contemporaries — which today places his work among the most sought-after in major museum collections.
