AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large octagonal platter from the early 20th century, in a transitional style between Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Its hammered metal border is fitted with two handles adorned with small relief motifs.
The design depicts the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de l'Étoile, animated with small automobiles, under a sky graded from pink to blue. Above the monument, the inscription 'Paris' stands out in gold letters. Its lettering with elongated stems evokes Belle Époque signage and is clearly distinguished in the close-up photograph.
Fine touches of mother-of-pearl highlight the monument and some facades. Their iridescent reflections vary with the light. The material of the decorated background remains to be identified. On the back, the wood‑like panel is fixed with screws.
Condition
Good overall condition for its age, with patina on the metal, a few small dents on the border and fine surface scratches. A small crack is visible at the edge of the reverse panel. See the detail photographs.
Dimensions and approximate weight
* Length with handles 55.5 cm
* Length without handles 49.5 cm
* Width 31 cm
* Height 3 cm
