Set of 6 French Art Deco Silver-Plated Salt & Pepper Shakers by Orfèvrerie St. Médard, 1940s
This set of six silver-plated salt and pepper shakers by Orfèvrerie St. Médard reflects the refined geometry of French Art Deco in the 1940s, where utility is elevated through form and proportion.
Each shaker is shaped in a distinctive mushroom silhouette, its rounded cap resting gently on a tapered base. The design feels both playful and controlled. Crafted in silver-plated metal, their surfaces carry a subdued luster, softened through age. The finish is not mirror-bright, but gently muted, allowing subtle tonal variations to emerge. Light gathers along the curved tops and diffuses across the bodies, emphasizing their simplicity.
The set is housed in its original presentation box, lined with a warm, golden satin interior that contrasts with the coolness of the silver. The case itself, worn in places, bears the passage of time with a certain dignity. Together, the objects and their enclosure form a complete composition, one that extends beyond the individual pieces to include the ritual of storage and display.
