Paul Emile BRANDT (1887-1952)
Cigarette box in silver plated metal with black, coral red and green lacquered geometrical decoration, decorated with inlays of egg shells Signed " Paul Brandt Paris " and punched About 1930 L : 12 cm Paul Émile Brandt was born on July 11, 1883 in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland, of an engraver father, descendant of a line of watchmakers. An eclectic jeweler, he produced few pieces compared to some of his contemporaries such as Jean Desprès or Raymond Templier, but always of exceptional quality. As a student at the Ecole de la Chaux de Fonds, he met Charles Edouard Jeanneret with whom he developed a lasting friendship and whom he met again a few years later in Paris. It was in Paris that he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he learned sculpture as well as engraving of hard stones, cameo... pursuing his quest for knowledge. The work that we present for sale illustrates his talents as a lacquerer as well as his taste for the refined graphics of the leading artists of his time.
