EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three exquisite Pique Snuff-Boxes from 1920, their creator unknown. Pique work, a decorative technique involving the use of small gold or silver pins to create inlaid designs, is beautifully displayed on these antique treasures. The image was sourced from "The Connoisseur Vol. LVI" by Otto Limited in London. In this close-up shot, the intricate details of each snuff-box are highlighted against a pristine white background. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of elegance and timelessness to the composition. These delicate objects serve as a testament to the mastery of decorative arts during the early 20th century. The composition features a female figure riding in a chariot pulled by horsemen amidst nature's beauty - trees and plants line the road they traverse. This depiction evokes a sense of movement and adventure within its static form. Cecil Reginald Grundy, renowned for his expertise in capturing such remarkable images, may have been involved in producing this studio shot for publication purposes. However, it is important to note that commercial use should not be inferred or mentioned when discussing this particular photograph. Overall, this vintage print transports us back to the roaring twenties with its timeless charm and impeccable craftsmanship – truly an object worth cherishing for any collector or enthusiast of historical artifacts.
