About the Item

Dimensions: The letter opener is 6.38 inches long and approximately 0.63 inches high. Provenance: Found at an estate sale in Strasbourg, Alsace, France This fabulous collector's item, signed by the French sculptor Maurice Frécourt (1890–1961), was a significant Art Deco artist who specialized in animal sculptures. Born in Charenton in 1890, he studied under Charles Valton, Antonin Mercié, and Jean Boucher at the École des Beaux-Arts. He gained recognition through exhibitions of his work at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris starting in 1920. His sculptures often included office accessories and desk decorations. His work has been compared to that of Louis Carvin and Max Le Verrier. A beautiful and original Art Nouveau bronze letter opener, combining craftsmanship, elegance, and historical charm—a fine addition to any collection or desktop.
