Original Description
The luminous lacquer screen Papillon et Raisin (after F.-L. Schmied) by Jean Dunand (1877-1942) epitomizes the glamorous synthesis of Art Deco craftsmanship and Japonism. Created circa 1925 as part of Dunand’s collaborative series interpreting compositions by Francois-Louis Schmied, this radiant two-panel work dazzles with abstracted botanical motifs – butterflies alighting on grapevines rendered in shimmering gold against deep crimson lacquer. The swirling dynamism reflects Dunand’s mastery of urushi-e techniques learned from Japanese artisan Seizo Sugawara, while the graphic boldness encapsulates Art Deco’s machine-age elegance. As one of only 50 documented lacquer works by Dunand (primarily a metalworker), this screen represents a zenith of 1920s decorative arts, where European modernism dialogued with Eastern traditions through exquisite luxury objects prized by collectors like Jacques Doucet.
For interiors, this masterpiece demands a carefully curated setting. Its 68.5 x 81 cm dimensions suit it as a focal point above a streamlined console in an entryway, or as tonal punctuation in a wood-paneled study – always positioned where raking light amplifies the lacquer’s depth. Pair with monochrome furnishings in black lacquer or Macassar ebony to echo its richness, while sparing metallic accents mirror the gilded details. In minimalist spaces, it injects controlled opulence; in maximalist environments, it anchors bold patterns through its sophisticated palette. Consider flanking with Dunand’s bronze vases or Eileen Gray’s tubular furniture to reinforce its Art Deco provenance, ensuring surrounding textures remain matte to heighten the screen’s luminous allure.
