AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This jewelry box, often titled “Joker Head Box” or “Woman with a Hat,” is an iconic Art Deco model created around 1925-1930 by the house Robj Paris, depicting a woman's face wearing a spectacular pointed hat enhanced with gilding.
Piece in very good condition with slight wear to the gilding; no cracks or other defects visible in the numerous photos which also serve as evidence of the piece’s high quality.
Height 20 cm; width 10 cm; length 16 cm; weight 440 g
Founded by Jean Born (from whom “Robj” is an anagram), the brand reached its peak in the interwar period under the direction of Lucien Willmetz. The house specialized in whimsical objects — liquor flasks, lamps, tobacco pots — combining modernism, humor and practicality. It commissioned contemporary sculptors to design models produced in limited editions, thus highly sought after by Art Deco collectors.
Careful packaging and shipping with tracking
