A pair of flat fans of Teguson unknownCigarette Case. Designer: Pierre Legrain (French, Levallois-Perret 1889-1929 Paris). Dimensions: 3 1/8 x 2 1/2 x 1 1/8in. (7.9 x 6.4 x 2.9cm). Date: ca. 1925.Legrain understood the principals and aesthetics of both modern andAfrican art to a degree that most other designers of the period did not--perhaps the result of spending considerable time with his patron, thecouturier Jacques Doucet, and his collection (which included Picasso'smasterpiece Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, several important Cubist works,and a group of African sculptures). These cigarette cases employ thesame vocabulary as his book bindings, only in miniature.

(9.21 cm), Clam shell, tortoise shell, Papua New Guinea, 19th century, The brown, lace-like discs attached to the white clam shells of these ornaments are made of tortoiseshell. When boiled, tortoiseshell becomes pliable and can be cut into patterns. The marble-like shell of the giant clam is a technically challenging medium, nearly as hard as stone. The art of working it reached a peak on the Solomon Islands in Oceania. The ornaments, called kapkap, were used as exchange goods throughout the region, and are still worn today at festivals, signifying personal wealth and status.Notebook from the VOC room on the Maze (Rotterdam).
