This is a stunning example of the early Art Deco piece made by the world renowned American retailers and comparable pieces were presented at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs at Industriels Modernes (Paris, 1925), that marked the high point of the first phase of Art Deco. Such iconic pieces are very valuable and sought after, by collectors and fashion conscious.
