EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a stunning collection of French Art Nouveau hair combs, featuring intricate designs in enamel, shell, and gold. The combs, created by renowned artists Paul Follot and Henri Vever, are showcased in this beautiful color plate from Charles Holmes' "Modern Design in Jewellery and Fans," published by the Studio 1902. The Art Nouveau movement, also known as the Modern Style, emerged in Europe at the turn of the 20th century and is characterized by its organic, flowing forms inspired by nature. These hair combs are a prime example of the movement's aesthetic, with their sinuous lines, delicate enamel work, and the use of natural materials such as shell and precious stones. Paul Follot (1877-1941) was a French artist, designer, and craftsman who is best known for his decorative arts, particularly his metalwork and enamelware. His designs often featured organic forms and natural motifs, making him a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement. Henri Vever (1859-1942) was a Belgian-born French artist and designer who is also known for his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement. He worked in various mediums, including painting, illustration, and jewelry design, and his work was characterized by its intricate detail and use of natural motifs. The hair combs in this image are not only beautiful objects in their own right, but they also serve as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Art Nouveau style and the skill and creativity of its practitioners, Paul Follot and Henri Vever.
