L'Arc en Seine, Paris
Acquired from the above by the present owner, circa 1988

Overall in good original condition. The metal surfaces with a few minor and occasional surface scratches, minor edge abrasions and minor rubbing to the patina, consistent with age and gentle handling. The platter is slightly bent overall, which is not visually distracting. A decorative piece with a dynamic dinanderie work, typical of French Art Deco.
