'When you have people like Coco Chanel, for me, the Maharaja of Indore is right there with them — as important for Art Deco jewellery.' ChristiesInc ArtDeco Jewellery
In conversation with Marie-Cécile Cisamolo, jewellery specialist at Christie’s in Geneva, on the lasting impact of Art Deco jewellery
In a webinar conducted by Christie’s earlier this month, Marie-Cécile Cisamolo, jewellery specialist at the Geneva office, charted the various periods of Art Deco jewellery: the shift towards abstraction, Orientalism, Egyptomania or Egyptian Revival, and Modernism. A lawyer by profession, Cisamolo fell in love with art history as a child vacationing in Greece and Turkey with her parents every summer.
Jewellery is a decorative art, so in everyday life it is treated as a luxury. It differs from a painting or a piece of furniture in that sense. Jewellery is very emotional, since it always has to be worn by someone — it’s not something you put in the corner of the room and cover up if it doesn’t please you. And then, particularly for the Art Deco period, jewellery was created for one person in particular.
