Objects & Accessories

Some objects reward the same attention as a jewel, even when they are not worn. ÆON’s selection begins with a Cartier cigarette case, circa 1925, whose black lacquer, diamond accents and precious-metal details give practical form to Art Deco design. Its interest lies in the relationship between restrained geometry and closely worked surfaces. This category extends the gallery’s eye to objects of personal use, selected for collectors of decorative arts and design who value character, construction and the presence of an object in the hand.
