Please Note: This original 1910s-1930s French cloisonné enamel-on-copper plaque is truly a tour-de-force of early 20th-century modernist enameling a true artistic feast of fused glass on metal, absolutely amazing, unique, top-level quality every-which-way, and unquestionably it is an artwork that should be in a museum collection! As you can see from the photographs shown above, both the subject matter and the aesthetic composition of this French cloisonné enamel-on-copper plaque display artistic ties to late 19th and early 20th century Post-Impressionism with clear references to work by Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec (see Au Moulin Rouge) and Pablo Picasso (see Le Moulin de la Galette), Neo-Impressionism with clear references to work by Georges Seurat (see Le Chahut), and Cubism with references to work by Pablo Picasso (see La Rue-des-Bois) and Georges Braque (see Tour Eiffel).

In addition, the reductive depiction of the Notre Dame de Paris in this artwork recalls the Metaphysical paintings of Giorgio de Chirico in which he portrayed buildings as imparting mystery and melancholy (see Piazza DItalia). Measures approximately six and three quarters inches (6 3/4) in height by four and seven eighths inches (4 7/8) in width, the artist who created this stellar example of cloisonné enamel art is unknown. There does not appear to be a signature. But it is most likely French in origin and there is no doubt the time period is as early as the 1910s and as late as the 1930s. Condition: Very good toward excellent and clean condition and it has not been cleaned or messed with in any way.

There is one small chip located on the backside top edge as well as some firing imperfections on the backside counter enameling. Overall, the front side with all of the glorious cloisonné imagery is in beautiful condition!
